    Ben,

    So, are you saying that I don't need to keep the 685.5MB of RPMs in my
    /var/cache/apt/archives/ dir?

    Franklin,

     You are saying I don't need to do anything after I update the k_delft
    package.. synaptic will take care of everything as long as I see the
    message 'no need to run/already ran mk_initrd'?

    Thanks,
     -=Thinker
