Normally I don't put 'deb-src' in my sources.list, but I have now done so for 'unstable main' which is where I think it would be, and apt-get updated. 'apt-cache' doesn't help. In googling, I keep getting reference to 2.6.8-15, but as 2.6.8-2 was available as a package for installation, I thought the source code would there too. Any help or clarification, please. John.apt-get install kernel-source-2.6.8
I don't understand how this will provide the source relating to my version of the kernel. If I look at kernel.org there are tarballs for 2.6.8.-1, 2.6.8-2, 2.6.8-3 etc, also I presume kernel-source-2.6.8 will cover all architectures and not just 386. Please don't think I'm suggesting the advice is incorrect, it's just that I genuinely cannot understand. John.
