How to update "package updates"?

[mixpc]

Hello,

I forgot to mention, my install is Xbian 1.0 Alpha 3. Should I follow the same steps you mentioned? The goal being having the lastest XBian distro 1.0a3 with the latest packages (and so with the latest XBMC release supported by XBian)

Thanks!

And one more easy question... Must updating be incremental? I mean xbian-config reports there is an update from Kernel 3.6.7 – 1.0 to 1.1 so should I update to Kernel 3.6.7 – 1.1 and afterwards to Kernel 3.6.9 – 1.0?

Finally, I don't understand Kernel 3.2.27 – 1.2? Isn't the numbering prior to Kernerl 3.6.7? Are they different? So should it be updated too?

Thanks for helping out a Linux newcomer
