I can probably install the kernel, but I won't have access to a suitable broadband connection for a few days. I'm at a rural work location, and downloads bog down the company internet connection badly. It's very slow in any case, but it's the best the phone company can provide out here, and we're lucky to have any DSL at all. I also had planned to wait for the actual release of Karmic before installing it, because I need a working computer. Jaunty works well enough, and changing kernels is pretty simple and reversible if one doesn't work.
