.SH NAME
|
|
update-kernel \- update kernel tool
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B update-kernel
|
|
[options]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
update\-kernel \- script to conveniently update kernel and modules.
|
|
.PP
|
|
It works by installing a new package set along with existing kernel
|
|
so that you don\'t end up without a kernel guaranteed to boot (your
|
|
good old one); by default, it will look for the most recent package
|
|
of the same flavour (e.g. "std\-def") and try to install all the same
|
|
modules as already installed for that.
