Kernel souce

[DusteD]

Hi, first of all, let me point out that im not a experience linux user at all, but im getting the hang of it.. but then...

i installed knoppix on my laptop (running 2.6.6 kernel, hangs on 2.4.x) i need to compile some stuff, some driver loader for use with my wlan, but it asks for the kernel source, im aware that it´s not there, but my question is:
how can i "install" my kernel source, and what is that kernel-header thing about?

is it possible just to apt-get the same kernel version as the system is running and place the folder in the right place ? and if it is, where is the right place ?

im sorry, im very bad at english, wich make manual reading a living hell for me...

your english is fine. glad to hear you are getting the hang" of linux / the knoppix distribution. last time i needed kernel headers, i hunted them down on this site using this link:
