Where do I get the Debian kernel-headers-2.6.7 package

Hi,

I saw the post by texinick at node 3606 about installing VMware, which I am about to do.

I cannot apt-get install the kernel-headers-2.6.7 because they are not available at the Debian repositories.

Simply unpacking the kernel sources for the 2.6.7 kernel and using the /include directory is no good because I lack the correct version.h file.

The /usr/include/linux/version.h file has the version number

2.6.0-test7

while the kernel has the version number 2.6.7 and ths mismatch trips up VMware installation.

So, I am at a loss as to how to install the correct kernel headers so that I can go about installing VMware.

Thank you.
