For the record, I looked for the referent of "[1]", but couldn't find
any pointer in Reco's message or OP's.

So I made a wild guess and went to

  https://www.kernel.org/

There I saw the list of downloads on the front page:

| mainline:   4.18-rc8 
| stable:     4.17.14 
| longterm:   4.14.62 
| longterm:   4.9.119 
| longterm:   4.4.147 
| longterm:   3.18.118 [EOL] 
| longterm:   3.16.57 
| linux-next: next-20180809

I'm going update my CV now: "Accomplished mind reader"
