I think the above comments by Pascal most succinctly clarifies my confusion ... pointing out the difference between "installing" and "upgrading". Next time I'll pay more attention to what is being presented by the "package manager"! Still a little uneasy about having no "backup kernel". But, I do have a CD with "Recovery Is Possible"/RIP [1] on it that I can use if something "terrible" happens. ;-) Though I am only replying to Pascal's letter, I definitely want to thank not just Pascal, but *all* who contributed to this thread.
