That means a new kernel version is ready to be installed. The reason it is marked "new install", it is infact a new install (not trying to be funny), after you install there will be 2 kernel versions showing at boot time (so it is not a update/upgrade, but a new install). Using synaptic package mgr, you can uninstall the older version of kernel. Few reason I can think of 1) Upgrading to a new kernel can break your system sometimes, so if it is a new install, you can test it and stay with new kernel or move back to old one... 2) some people stick a particular kernel because of their configurations like OpenVZ (amature explaination, as I am one...) It is very usual in every release to have a new kernel sooner the release. > > Regards > > Narendra Diwate > > > > -- > ubuntu-in mailing list > ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in > > -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
