Thanks, that did help.

However I am still confused by the interatcions between uptrack, and the
"conventional" updating of the kernel via, say, apt-get. Should I run
uptrack before, or after doing an apt-get upgrade? As I understand it
apt-get upgrade downlaods the complete compiled new kernel, and then builds
an initrd image. Then this flags the computer as needing a reboot, which is
displayed when I log into thta computer, right? Will it still think I need
to reboot if uptrack has done it's job?
