Install new kernals in Ubuntu

To install new kernals in ubuntu can be pretty easy. Here is the simplest way I know how.

download the following three packages

linux-headers...all.deb
linux-headers...amd64(i386).deb
linux-image...amd64(i386).deb


There is more information about this process at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds

Now just install with
sudo dpkg -i linux-headers...all.deb linux-headers...amd64(i386).deb linux-image...amd64(i386).deb

**IMPORTANT**
The order that you load the headers and image is important so make sure you pay attention like I have shown above.

Also don't delete previous kernals in case things don't work out.
