Why do you want to install the headers if you already have the whole kernel source code? What are you trying to accomplish besides building a custom kernel? >> >> A Debian source package for 2.6.35 is also >> available in experimental: linux-source-2.6.35. > > can I use make-kpkg against this ? I haven't tried that specific source package, but I don't know of any reason why it wouldn't work. > > my reason for doing this is I have a problem with my screen - there is > a bug open at freedesktop.org. and I need to get the lastest git from > drm-intel.... So does this video driver use an out-of-kernel-source-tree kernel module, like the proprietary nvidia driver does? Are you trying to use module-assistant? Is that why you need the headers (or why you think you need the headers)? -- .''`.
