Apologies for the funny quoting in my last e-mail. Hyphens as bulleted 
items get interpreted…oddly? Maybe I had leading spaces?


Anyway, there are new stable Linux kernel 6.10.9 sources, and it 
installed as I had hoped:

0. Build the 6.10.9 kernel .deb.

1. "dpkg --install" the new .deb

2. copy out from /boot the configs, initrds, symbols, and vmlinuzs (or 
just the new bits)

3. Mount the removable drive at /boot and /boot/efi

4. Copy in the configs, initrds, symbols, and vmlinuzs to /boot (or just 
the new bits)

4. "update-grub"

5. umount.

Works.
