Hi, Jen. Since you're new, here's a little something to get you started on the right foot, in case you haven't seen this. http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#CodeofConduct In addition to the offical rules, there are a couple of unofficial rules: 1. Don't "top post": use the usenet style of quoting (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_posting) 2. Trim your posts (also covered in the above article) Now, about your original question, the 2.6.32-trunk kernels have recently been obsoleted. You should use the 2.6.32-3 kernels (and their headers) instead. -- .''`.
