I should clarify that point, lest someone quote me out of context. It *will* replace a binary *stock* kernel directly. It *will not* replace a binary *custom* kernel directly, *unless* you gave it a name that exactly matches a stock kernel package name and a version that is less than the new version to be downloaded. That is not usually done, but if you do it it is possible for the above sequence of commands to replace a custom kernel with a stock kernel, which is probably not what you want. You should either change the package name slightly, which I recommend for a number of reasons, including keeping a good backout around, or give it a version number that will always compare high with whatever gets downloaded. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
