How can I install the kernel headers to some already installed kernel? Do I have to recompile it? Or how? There is now README file

I believe you can install kernel headers for the stock kernel using
debian's apt-get. Since I don't know how to use apt-get since I've
never used debian, I can't tell you exacly how to do it. But if it's
for the stock kernel, use apt-get, if you compiled your own kernel
and you some how removed all the headers (make distclean), then
yes you must recompile, (just make dep bzImage modules should
do it).

Hi, I used apt-get install kernel-headers, but I just have the kernel headers directory in /usr/src in it are Makefile and include/ and in there are many directories. I was downloading the headers for 2.6.0-test1 because when I was downloading this kernel there weren't any headers with it. And the test2 is not running for me

I also downloaded the test3 but that one also doesn't have headers(I need the headers for the nvidia driver installer).
