After some Googling, I think I have found my issue.  The computer I have has 
an Nvidia GeForce Fx5200.  I download the driver from Nvidia's legacy 
section and ran the install script.  After several not found errors, 
installing packages and rerunning the script, I ran into unfamiliar 
territory.  The script wants the kernel source and the location of kernel 
source.  The script suggested to make sure kernel-source and/or kernel-devel 
packages were installed.


I ran Synaptic but could not find either kernel-source or kernel-devel.  
Using either Synaptic or apt-get, how can I install the kernel source code?  
And where will it be stored?

Thanks!

Michael
