Well, at this point I am just trying to unpack this big box of goodies, so
nothing is on the system that wasn't put there by dpkg. I am pretty sure
that if I went to the trouble of finding another kernel and rebuilding it, I
would remember which version I used. At the very least I could look it up in
my notes.
What I really need to know is:
a: Do I need to do anything more than a dpkg installation for the newly
installed kernel to be the one that boots on the next reboot?
b: Are there any other packages that should be updated, other than the
modules package?
