[clug] Ubuntu Mainline Kernel

[Francis Whittle]

On Ubuntu (which last time I used it didn't set a root password), you
should probably do something more like:

sudo dpkg --set-selections <<< '{insert-name-of-kernel-package-here}
hold'

(BTW, triple <<< shell redirection operator - very handy)

Cheers,
Francis
