I will do, but please could you confirm if it really is Raring that you want me to install? I'm only running that latest LTS (Precise).
Also, you only mention the image and image-extra. What about the headers? If you wouldn't mind confirming by pointing me to the index page of the version you'd like (and mention if I should also install the headers), I'll do that.
