You can install the kernel-source-2.4.19 and pcmcia-source packages to
get source tarballs in /usr/src. You probably also want to install
kernel-package if you're going to build a custom kernel, and read the
instructions in its README.Debian file. If you do this, it's a little
easier to build modules that don't get shipped with the kernel
(PCMCIA, OpenAFS, lm-sensors, ALSA, ...) and you get nice spiffy
Debian packages you can install and remove instead of leaving
unpackaged files splattered across /boot and /lib/modules.
