   Hello, Henrik!  Thanks for your comments.   
      
   Are you talking about the "K", "O", "R", "P" question that I've seen?  I   
   don't get that every time--perhaps only when the kernel is updated?.   
   Anyway, it is a bothersome question.  I always choose "O".  I don't think   
   I want to wade through all of them--which is an option--I don't remember   
   which.   
      
   So far the process I described has worked for me, but then I've only been   
   updating/upgrading regularly for a few months now.  I'll holler, if I   
   have trouble.  It's nice to know there is help here in this Usenet group.   
      
   I must say, though, that currently I'm happy,  My tools make it easy, and   
   as a result I'm able to update/upgrade often.   
      
   This is in contrast to what I did before.  I was bad.  I often went   
   several years between, because the way I applied my system tweaks made it   
   difficult.  But no more!  I hope I'm not naive.
