How to upgrade kernel

SELKS supports its own generic and standard Debian 64 bit packaging repositories. The packages are easy to find:

NOTE: All SELKS packages by Stamus Networks are using the Debian packaging standard and routines. There are no custom modifications to the kernel. It is just packaged for your convenience.

To upgrade your kernel ([to the latest longterm supported kernel](https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html)) you can simply for example do (adjust to the latest kernel version available in the repository - see above):

apt-get install linux-libc-dev linux-firmware-image-4.1.13-stamus-amd64 linux-headers-4.1.13-stamus-amd64 linux-image-4.1.13-stamus-amd64 linux-image-4.1.13-stamus-amd64-dbg

Warning: This above could take long time since it installs dbg kernel packages as well.

Usually this could be sufficient:

apt-get install linux-headers-4.1.13-stamus-amd64 linux-image-4.1.13-stamus-amd64  

reboot and then verify:

root@SELKS:~# uname -a
Linux SELKS 4.1.13-stamus-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Nov 27 17:46:35 EDT 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux
root@SELKS:~#
