How to do this?

Solution 1:

It seems like rt (and preemp and lowlatency) still haven't landed in the repositories. Maverick is still beta... are you sure you want to try such special kernels in this stage?

I've found a message which covers the issue of which low latency kernels you want to try and, perhaps, a PPA to get it: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2010-March/009323.html

Be cautious, though... There be dragons!

Solution 2:

This won't do since there are NO 10.10 MAVERICK packages in the PPA! Only Lucid and Natty (11.04)! This is what worked for me:
