Joseph,

I downloaded both the linux-image*.deb and linux-image-extra*.deb packages to my Downloads directory. When I double clicked on either one there was a sentence at the bottom of the description in Ubuntu Software Center stating:

"You likely do not want to install this package directly. Instead, install the linux-generic meta-package, which will ensure that upgrades work correctly, and that supporting packages are installed also installed."

Is it correct that in this case, I can just ignore the above (implicit warning) and install each of these two, one after the other?

Thanks.
