hmm, not a great start to testing upstream. The well written document at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds?action=show&redirect=KernelMainlineBuilds#Installing_Mainline_Kernels did not match the archive at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.3-rc7-precise/
When I guessed and downloaded linux-headers-3.3.0-030300rc7-generic_3.3.0-030300rc7.201203101735_i386.deb rather than linux-headers-3.3.0-030300rc7-generic-pae_3.3.0-030300rc7.201203101735_i386.deb I got (from the GUI installer) Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: linux-headers-3.3.0-030300rc7 so I tried the command line and got: dpkg -i *.deb Selecting previously deselected package linux-headers-3.3.0-030300rc7-generic.
