May 'task bar' currently has an 'update available' icon. When I open this window and read the description:
This package contains modules supplied by Ubuntu for Linux kernel 2.6.24 on x86/x86_64.
You likely do not want to install this package directly. Instead, install the linux-generic meta-package, which will ensure that upgrades work correctly, and that supporting packages are also installed.
What is meant by 'You likely do not want to install this package directly.'? Does this mean using the package manager is a bad idea?
Thank you,
