 == How to upgrade ==
 
-Check if the kernel is in your apt repo first:
 {{{
-apt-get update
-apt-cache policy linux-image-4.9.0-0.bpo.5-amd64
-}}}
-
-If the candidate is: `4.9.65-3+deb9u2~bpo8+1` then you can run:
-
-{{{
-apt-get install linux-image-amd64/jessie-backports linux-image-4.9.0-0.bpo.5-amd64/jessie-backports linux-base/jessie-backports
-shutdown -h
-}}}
-
-If not, then run:
-
-{{{
-apt-get install linux-base/jessie-backports
-wget https://incoming.debian.org/debian-buildd/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-4.9.0-0.bpo.5-amd64_4.9.65-3+deb9u2~bpo8+1_amd64.deb
-dpkg -i linux-image-4.9.0-0.bpo.5-amd64_4.9.65-3+deb9u2~bpo8+1_amd64.deb
+apt-get update && apt-get install linux-image-amd64/jessie-backports linux-image-4.9.0-0.bpo.5-amd64/jessie-backports linux-base/jessie-backports
 shutdown -h
 }}}
 
 When prompted to restart services, you can say no to all services (since they will all be restarted when you shutdown the guest).
+
+After reboot, check with:
+
+{{{
+0 chavez:~# uname -a
+Linux chavez 4.9.0-0.bpo.5-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.65-3+deb9u2~bpo8+1 (2017-01-05) x86_64 GNU/Linux
+0 chavez:~#
