I ran this command last night as root on my vaio 505TR. I was connected to
the 'net via wireless ethernet (wavelan card).
At a certain point in the process I was presented with some dialog about
whether I wanted to update the kernel.. (i think the new one on offer was
.18)... i was warned that I may completely hose my system in the process
as it would download and install the new kernel, kernel sources and kernel
modules and replace what i am currently running with the new stuff...
I opted out... but I'm wondering what the best way is to keep my system up
to date with minimal overhead (time, effort) and danger of hosing my
system..
what started all this? I went to the security pages at debian and saw
that it was recommended that I upgrade modutils... I was able to download
the new debian package, but I'm not at all sure how to actually 'run' the
.deb file I downloaded. IOW, I now know how to run apt-get upgrade, but I
don't know how to upgrade individual packages...
Any advice, pointers, appreciated.
TIA,
J.
