 You can find this
 out easily enough. On an existing system with a kernel 
 installed, try this command, but be warned
 there is a lot of output:
 
 dpkg -L linux-image-3.XXX|less
 
 Replace XXX with the package
 name of the actual kernel. You can determine 
 this with this command:
 
 dpkg -l | grep linux-image
 
 Another way is to download the kernel package
 by hand from any Ubuntu 
 mirror. You should
 find it under /ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-image/. Use
 "dpkg 
 --extract" to extract it to
 a temporary directory. That lets you look at the 
 installation scripts, so you can see exactly
 what gets updated.
