Summary: Update kernel and modules
Description:
This package contains a script to conveniently update kernel and modules. It works by installing a new package set along with existing kernel so that you don't end up without a kernel guaranteed to boot (your good old one); by default, it will look for the most recent package of the same flavour (e.g. "std-def") and try to install all the same modules as already installed for that.
