Thank you Robert, much appreciated.  I was able to flash my green with this 
image.  Then i typed "uname -r" and received "3.8.13-bone79", so indeed it 
did load this version of Kernel.  Then i tried loading NI-VISA again and I 
receive almost the same message:

* Kernel source does not appear to be installed for the 3.8.13-bone79 
kernel.
*    Installation of the kernel-source package for kernel 3.8.13-bone79 is
*                   required to continue this installation.

Looks like i need the Kernel source.  So, in trying to do that i used 
"apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)", which gave me error: "E: You must 
put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list".  So opening 
/etc/apt/sources.list I started un-commenting the lines at the end which 
indicate "Kernel source"...

...am i on the right track?
