Re: Sarge Kernel Image Package Question

I was under the impression that running apt-get update, apt-get upgrade

perform a manual kernel-image package installation when new kernel-image
packages are released.

You need to install a "kernel-image-2.6-686" meta package, that always
depends on the latest kernel, if you want kernel upgrades to happen
automatically.
