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. -- .''`.

The linux headers are in /usr/include/linux, so: apt-file search /usr/include/linux (you might need to install apt-file) - and that reveals they're in linux-libc-dev. You might want to think about installing build-essential, which pulls in the headers and a number of other useful things for building source packages. -- Chris Jackson Shadowcat Systems Ltd. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

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}.
