I'm reading the Squeeze Release Notes in preparation for upgrading a few
boxes from Lenny to Squeeze.  I have never done an upgrade, and am confused
by this line in Section 4.6.1 of the Release Notes:

" For example, if you see '2.6.26-2-686', it is recommended that you install
linux-image-2.6-686. You may also use *apt-cache* to see a long description
of each package in order to help choose the best one available. For example:


# apt-cache show linux-image-2.6-686

You should then use apt-get install to install it. Once this new kernel is
installed you should reboot at the next available opportunity to get the
benefits provided by the new kernel version."


Since I have kernel 2.6.26-2-686 just as the Release Notes say, I thought I
would have to install linux-image-2.6.32-x-686 (for example), instead of "
linux-image-2.6-686".

Can anyone help clarify please?

Thank you.
