 +After the initial configuration, the easiest way to keep your system up to date is to enter these commands:
 +
 +Cause slackpkg to update its knowledge of the configured Slackware release:
 +
 +<code>
 +slackpkg update
 +</code>
 +
 +Check the Change Log for the configured release:
 +<code>
 +slackpkg show-changelog
 +</code>
 +
 +Generally, unless you know what you're doing you should install new packages since some of the existing packages may now depend on them.
 +
 +<code>
 +slackpkg install-new</code>
 +
 +Upgrade to the latest packages:
 +<code>
 +slackpkg upgrade-all</code>
 +
 +Clean up:
 +<code>
 +slackpkg clean-system</code>
 +
 +<note tip>For Slackware ARM/AArch64, Kernel upgrades are handled automatically - there is no need to re-generate the Initial RAM Disk.
 +For x86/64 you may need to run the ''geninitrd'' command.</note>
