I need to update Linux kernel to latest version using Ubuntu. How?

[NS RAO]

I am trying to update the latest version of Ubuntu Linux to the latest Linux kernel so I can use ndiswrapper. I am unsure how to install the kernel, however. How can I do this so I can get ndiswrapper running under Ubuntu?

There should be instructions with the kernel you've downloaded, but it'll centre around (all under sudo):
./configure
make clean
make
make install

But check the documentation before you proceed!

This should do both


sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.9

Should not be like this?


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

[ubix]

Should not be like this?


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade




sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade


Both of the above are correct. The last is using AND syntax which means execute both commands if the first one was successful.
