Wonderful, James, I am in and on kernel 4.8.0-2. Now, to switch to using
flash-kernel, should I reconfig this kernel? The system will do so with
the next update anyway, I guess.
Also, I would like to remove the 4.3.0 and the 4.8.0-1 stuff. It does
not appear in aptitude. I'd like to have more free space on /boot, just
to be safe.
