Now I understood what you are looking for. If you like interactive
programs more then you can use aptitude to install packages from
terminal. Just do 'sudo aptitude'.

In case you just want a simple command use command 'sudo apt-get
install linux-image-generic'. linux-image-generic is a meta packages
which always depends on latest kernel for the ubuntu version you are
using and other related packages like restricted modules.

Hope this helps.
