hmm, not a great start to testing upstream. The well written document at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds?action=show&redirect=KernelMainlineBuilds#Installing_Mainline_Kernels
did not match the archive at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.3-rc7-precise/

When I guessed and downloaded
linux-headers-3.3.0-030300rc7-generic_3.3.0-030300rc7.201203101735_i386.deb
rather than
linux-headers-3.3.0-030300rc7-generic-pae_3.3.0-030300rc7.201203101735_i386.deb
I got (from the GUI installer)
Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: linux-headers-3.3.0-030300rc7
so I tried the command line and got:

dpkg -i *.deb

(but I now have Ubuntu, with Linux 3.3.0-030300rc7-generic in my grub so I'm off to reboot)
