Counting is important if you cannot differentiate between different
versions of Ubuntu and the different kernels of a version of Ubuntu!

If you need older kernels than distribution provides, you can either
change your sources.list to an older version, install that kernel, and
re-change yoru sources.list - or you can copy the older kernel (and
its corresponding files in its intall's /boot and /lib/modules/) to
/boot and /lib/modules/.
