Thak yu. The pointer to the docs was most helpful!

But, I still am slightly confused. I followed the instructions, then dis an
apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, then  uptrack-upgrade -y, and got this
result:

Nothing to be done.
Your kernel is fully up to date.

Even though the last thing that apt-get upgrade reported was:

Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-24-generic

Do I have the new kernel pathces installed now?
