Hi,
My name is Jen, and I'm new to the list. I've been playing with Linux on
and off for about a year, but have only recently found a distro that
meets my accessibility needs (Debian unstable). It's also a great
learning tool :P
I need to build some packages from source, and I need kernel headers to
do it. I can't find the headers I need, when I try to install them in
the conventional way I get the error 'package not found'.
An 'apt-cache search' finds nothing. Can someone please tell me where to
get the kernel headers for 2.6.32-trunk-686, and how I install them?
Where does 2.6.32-trunk-686 come from? Definitely not Unstable!
$ apt-cache search 2.6.32-trunk-686

You might want to install linux-image-2.6.32-4-686 (or the -bigmem
variant dependent on your RAM size).
Thanks in advance.
apt-cache search kernel headers | grep headers | grep 32
So, I'd install linux-image-2.6.32-4-686{-bigmem} and
linux-headers-2.6.32-4-686{-bigmem}.
