so, I need to trim a bunch more fat....
I see yours is 2.6.31.1

no, what I am saying is, when I went to look for the 2.6.32 linux-headers, 
THAT ONE is the ONLY file I could find. I know that isn't what I want...
am I to assume:
1. sid is the only Debian repository that has 2.6.32 kernel files?
2. Debian doesn't do -686 versions of 2.6.32 kernel-headers for sid?

do I need to add some sid repositories to be able to get 2.6.31 Debian 
kernel-headers?
