That will work. It will also cause linux-image-amd64 to be removed. Without linux-image-amd64 installed the system won't get normal security upgrades that are slightly larger and change the ABI and require pulling in a newer stable security release kernel. Therefore after the above it would be good to isntall the matching linux-image-amd64 package. # apt-get install linux-image-amd64 Or (from memory, possible typos) you can do a variation and install the matching linux-image-amd64 package and have it pull in the associated kernel. Currently today for Wheezy Stable that version is 3.2+46 but will increase over time as Stable release kernels are released for security upgrades. This can be seen with "apt-cache policy linux-image-amd64" just like the above policy example. # apt-get install linux-image-amd64=3.2+46 Because it "Depends: linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64" that will pull in the associated kernel. Are you using grub to boot? If so then by default it will order the kernels with the newest being the default. (Of course you can customize it otherwise.) So of course you need to manually select the kernel you want to boot. If you remove the 3.14-0.bpo.1-amd64 kernel then of course it is removed from the list and all is as basically as if it had never been otherwise. Bob
