It is only safe if the machine has NO outside contact, incoming or outgoing. IE ... net cable unplugged, modem unplugged. Maybe even floppy and cd-rom unplugged.If you want to keep your existing kernel for a while, just change the grub default back after the update installs the new one. Then you can switch, reboot, and rebuild the necessary stuff whenever you have a chance.Thanks, this is probably what I will end up doing. I tend to err on the side of caution when applying updates, especially a single-user box that is not exposing any inbound ports or services to the Internet.
