You only need linux-image, but if you want to build some aditional modules or other kernel related apps, then you will need linux-headers and most probably linux-source.
To install it, just run # sudo dpkg -i –force-all linux-image-*.deb.

Good luck!

Hi robert, well then you should give the way to install it correctly. It’s really confusing me as newbie since there are some files, linux-source, linux-header and linux-image. Do i have to downloads all of these files and install it without worrying any order.

Thanks

You could try to install it using dpkg -i –force-all linux-image-2.6.32-final-union_1_i386.deb. Im not sure why you have the error, but could be some things missing.

Well yes, but I will rebuild the kernel on an older Ubuntu, so more people can use it. Was build using Ubuntu 9.10, so it is based on a newer libc6 version.
