Install Sources under Ubuntu Server

Hi. I am trying to install the drivers for my GeForce. NVIDIA gives a driver for it, but it won't install (I've just installed Ubuntu server). It is asking me to install the kernel sources. Is there a way that I can do that using apt-get?

Also, is there a way that I can generally figure out how to install a tool FOO using apt-get if I don't know the exact package that FOO is part of?

Under development section in apt, there would be an option to install kernel sources.

But you don't need them.
just do:
apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
