	Howdy Crombie,

	Try the command 'apt-cache search kernel-source' and then install
the kernel source package that matches up to the version of the kernel
that you're currently running with, for instance...


cd /usr/src
apt-get install kernel-source-2.2.19


Then I think you have to untar or bunzip2 it like so...


tar zxvf <kernel.tar.gz file>

or

tar jxvf <kernel.tar.bz2 file>



Then it should make a directory called 'linux' and you can optionally do
the following (it's a good idea)...


mv linux linux-2.2.19
ln -sv linux-2.2.19 linux


	Hope that get you what you're looking for,

	Jimmy Richards
