I suggest create the module kernel-image.last
To upgrade the kernel to the last version.
In apt-get install -kernel last
|$ apt-cache show kernel-image-2.4-386 |[...] |Description: Linux kernel image for version 2.4 on 386. | This package will always depend on the latest 2.4 kernel image available | for 386.
...and similar other packages.
Yes, but you cannot include a simple command in a tutorial or guide to do it....the apt-get would install the last kernel image for the default system architecture (i.e. I would detect if it's a i386X architecture and would download the last kernel module for this architecture ).
As the architecture of your box shouldn't change _that_ often some manual work / scripting might be acceptable, thereafter one could install one of the packages mentioned above.
It would include the intermediate steps ( if user says nothing in an option).A stept forward in simplicity and easy of use.
...and possibly dangerous: What should be the 'latest' kernel? Automatic upgrade from 2.N.xx to 2.N+2.0 once this is available? Or even to 2.N+1.xx as this is 'latest'?
Regards.
Feel free.
