kernel headers needed


hi everybody,
since there isn't a knoppix forum i thought this is the next best place to post this questions. please excuse me if it isn't, since i am a newbie

i installed Knoppix 5.1 on my HD, using the CD version
when i tried to compile the drivers for my conexant pci modem, it complained about kernel header files not being present
i have previously installed the same modem driver successfully in knoppix 3.7 without any problem
after doing a google search i learnt that the kernel headers are present in the DVD and not in the CD version
the exact file is supposed to be
"linux-headers-2.6.19_2.6.19-10.00.Custom_i386.deb"
can someone with the DVD version pleeeez email it to me.
the file is supposed to be around 8MB
my email is

shafie_marikar at yahoo dot com

thanx in advance
