Just look for it on the cdrom and use dpkg -i kernel-headers-<> as mentioned above. But first give apt-get install kernel-headers-<> a try, cause if your /etc/apt/sources.list is set up correct, your cdrom is already mentioned as a source for packages. Dont forget to mount it first. There is another way to install the package using dselect (a text gui for package management), choose option 2 (select) and when u reached the main package listing (after clicking away some help windows) u press "/" and search for "kernel-headers", then choose the right one by pressing "*" and press enter. Hope this helps...
