Make complains of missing kernel files in /lib/modules.../build. I have an Ubuntu install. The install does not include the kernel sources or headers, 2.6.12-10, but when I try to do apt-get, apt-get returns packages not found. I cannot find 2.6.12-10 in debian or Ubuntu mirrors. I am new to debian installs, from Mandriva, and was somewhat surprised at what was not included in the basic install.
