I am downloading the linux-headers-nnn package as I type, and it is
also pulling down linux-kbuild-nnn as well. I am on the netbook
just now & I am not sure how much extra in the way of compilers and
dev packages I will need. I may transfer to a proper desktop
for the compilation if it gets too heavy.

I will have a quick attempt tonight, but may have to leave things
to at least tomorrow if there are any complications.
I too am very interested to see what happens...
