That resulted in only a few packages, and none started with 'kernel.' I think here the package name starts with 'linux-,' and searching on that resulted in 5314 packages. including a lot with 5.3 in the name. I am guess that this means that the packages necessary to install 5.3 are in the repositories, but which of the hundred+ with 5.3 in the name I need to install remains a mystery. I'm going to ask next on the Ubuntu forums. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
