Kernel Updates In GNOME

Since I usually do not install X11 ‘stuff’ on my Linux hosts — using the console interface — I do not have any experience installing kernel updates on “desktop” type systems. Evidently, the best practice is to drop out of the GUI into what I’d call init 3 then install the kernel updates. You can get random hangs and malfunctions when you attempt to update the kernel whilst in the graphic console.
