Hi,
I am a new Linux user and I have the Debian distribution (2.6.18-4-686)
installed via the internet using a few floppy disks to perform the initial boot
up. I am now trying to install a VPN client on my computer and during the
installation procedure the installer asks for the kernel header files. I could
not find them in /usr/src nor did the following command find any files (with
various permutations):
find / -name '*kernel-header*' -print
Please let me know as to what I need to do to get these header files. Thank you.

hi,
do $ uname -a
this gives you the name of your kernel
than do:
apt-cache search linux-headers. this gives you a list, from which you
can select you appropriate linux-headers.
than do as root: apt-get install linux-headers (i.c. the appropriate
linux-headers version)
you can see the packages installed in /usr/src under debian_etch (stable)
good luck,
steef
