Kernel source and the version

[mss]

Hi,
This maybe a somewhat elementary question..

how do i use apt-get to install the header file for for my kernel?

Thanks

nm - I got it.

apt-get install kernel-headers<kernel version>

and the kernel version can be found by

uname -r

I think they're calling it linux-headers now. And you can have the shell put the right version in for you, like so:

apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

Note that those are back-ticks around uname -r (the ~ key). The shell will treat the contents between the back-ticks as a command, and replace it with the result of the command (in this case, the name of your kernel).
