error message "Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or


Hi i'm trying to run the command:
Public/Patch# sudo dpkg –install linux-image-3.4.0-030400-generic_3.4.0-030400.201205210521_i386.deb linux-headers-3.4.0-030400_3.4.0-030400.201205210521_all.deb linux-headers-3.4.0-030400-generic_3.4.0-030400.201205210521_i386.deb

I'm getting the following error:
dpkg: error: need an action option

Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages[*];
Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management;
Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;

Options marked[*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or `more' !

What do I do?

thanks for help!
