If I'm not mistaken the package you need is called linux-kernel-headers. Just "apt-get install linux-kernel-headers" will get them installed for you, or look for that package in one of the full screen package managers like aptitude or dselect. I think that is a meta package that will install the kernel header for your installed kernel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
