perhaps I'm unpacking it incorrectly. This is the command I issued: sudo dpkg -i *all.deb linux-headers*386.deb linux-image* this is the directory: linux-headers-3.1.4-030104_3.1.4-030104.201111281851_all.deb linux-headers-3.1.4-030104-generic_3.1.4-030104.201111281851_i386.deb linux-image-3.1.4-030104-generic_3.1.4-030104.201111281851_i386.deb Do I need to do each command alone?
