Thank you very much Claracc, with your info I was able to add the ppa and install the latest version of linphone.

I checked out the linphone team ppa page on launchpad, and it doesn't describe how to use the terminal to install it, and help section doesn't help much.

Since after ubuntu 9.10, ppa use a single...

Thanks Fred.

I installed and ran the bootinfo program on the usb stick.

command as suggest in the tutorial you linked to.

In synaptic the only traces of the 2.6 kernels is alot of linux-headers-2.6.31.xx files.
