[ubuntu-in] How do I update the kernel using the terminal?

[Fabian Enos]

Thanks Onkar. Now I know how to update the kernel when a new one comes
out. I had been able to use one of the previous methords to install a
newer kernel and the results were'nt good so I am back to using the
default one that shipped with the cd.
