Thanks for your help, before I try this I would like to make sure that I
don't forget anything.

All I have to do to install the latest 2.6 kernel is:
apt-get install kernel-image-2.6-686 kernel-headers-2.6-686

Do I need to modigy grub in any way so it will let me boot this and the
current kernel?  (like lilo does)

Should I install the kernel-doc-2.6.8 and kernel-source-2.6.8 as well?


I tried what Andrew suggested but module-assistant -v prepare nvidia
gives:
E: Couldn't find package kernel-headers-2.6.6-1-386

TIA
