I have the 4.4.0 lite kernel but in lite 2.8.

Quote:uname -a
Linux bs-Aspire-V5-573PG 4.4.0-linuxlite #1 SMP Mon Jan 11 15:48:57 NZDT 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Do I need to upgrade?  and how, since 2.8 is not based on the 16.04 repositories so if I do "sudo apt-get update" I will not get the new kernel, and 'sudo apt-get install linux-generic' will only install older packages...
