Then, its simply a matter of running the following: (depending on what you initially installed, the install-new and install patches steps may yield stuff you don't want or need installed, or may show nothing. ie: I don't run KDE, so I don't install those items)
slackpkg update
slackpkg install-new
slackpkg install patches
slackpkg upgrade-all

Now if i want to update the Kernel... i need to uncomment these lines and do what it says?
# This is a blacklist file. Any packages listed here won't be
# upgraded, removed, or installed by slackpkg.
#
# The correct syntax is:
#
# to blacklist the package xfree86-devel-4.3.0-i386-1 the line will be:
# xfree86-devel
#
# DON'T put any blank line(s) or any space(s) before or after the package name.
# If you do this, the blacklist will NOT work.
#
# Automated upgrade of kernel packages aren't a good idea (and you need to
# run "lilo" after upgrade). If you think the same, uncomment the lines
# below
#
#kernel-ide
#kernel-modules
#kernel-source
#kernel-headers
Or is there a better way to update the Kernel?
