I'm sorry -- I can't follow either of those pages. They're written beyond my capacity.
ASIDE: I also have trouble with older kernels because the default partitioning by Dell made /boot too small. So I constantly need to apt-get remove old linux-image-'s to make room for new ones. So I probably do not have any older kernels on my computer. I am willing to do the experiment, but I will need more guidance, i.e., how to install and then how to boot an older kernel. Thank you very much. Best, Michael On Wed, Jul 6, 2016 at 8:53 AM, Christopher M.
