Hi ..

Is there documentation on how to do a kernel upgrade?  I am looking at going 
from 5.3 to 5.4 and I am pretty sure that steps are:

  (1) upgrade the /usr/src tree
  (2) recomple the kernel
  (3) install the new kernel

I am not sure of the best or official way of doing (1).  Plus, am I missing 
something essential, like support libraries, changes in the boot process, 
etc.?

Any help appreciated.

Regards,
