## Removing the default kernel series
4040

4141
If you've installed a kernel package for a series other than the default, and
42-
want to remove the default kernel packages, use
43-
[xbps.d(5)](https://man.voidlinux.org/xbps.d.5) `ignorepkg` entries to
44-
[ignore](../xbps/advanced-usage.md#ignoring-packages) the relevant
45-
`linux<x>.<y>` and `linux<x>.<y>-headers` packages. After adding these entries,
46-
you will be able to remove the packages with
47-
[xbps-remove(1)](https://man.voidlinux.org/xbps-remove.1).
42+
want to remove the default kernel packages, you should install the `linux-base`
43+
package or [mark it as a manual
44+
package](https://man.voidlinux.org/xbps-pkgdb.1) in case it is already
45+
installed. After this procedure, you can remove the default kernel packages
46+
with [xbps-remove(1)](https://man.voidlinux.org/xbps-remove.1). It might be
47+
necessary to add `linux` and `linux-headers` to an `ignorepkg` entry in
48+
[xbps.d(5)](https://man.voidlinux.org/xbps.d.5), since base packages can depend
49+
on them.
