To have new kernels automatically installed when available you should install the package linux-image-amd64 (assuming that amd64 is your arch). The running kernel should never be updated automatically on an upgrade, unless you really want so, and installing linux-image-ARCH is the way of telling apt that "you really want so" HND KatolaZ -- [ ~.,_ Enzo Nicosia aka KatolaZ - Devuan -- Freaknet Medialab ] [ "+. katolaz [at] freaknet.org --- katolaz [at] yahoo.it ] [ @) http://kalos.mine.nu --- Devuan GNU + Linux User ] [ @@) http://maths.qmul.ac.uk/~vnicosia -- GPG: 0B5F062F ] [ (@@@) Twitter: @KatolaZ - skype: katolaz -- github: KatolaZ ]
