It would be a nice chance for you to learn how to recompile your kernel in the Debian way isn't difficult. You will have always the most up to date kernel and headers.

Cheers

not really - only you want to do it the Debian-way.

You can also download
a) from any Debian-repository the fitting kernel-headers 2.6.26 (i.e from the
stable (aka known as LENNY) branch).
b) or Download the complete kernel-source from kernel-org and compile a
completley NEW kernel. This way is much more intensive, and I think you
wont't do so, because you have an exisiting / running kernel with which you
are happy

After doing a) you can run the NVIDIA-installation program (Download it from
the NVIDIA Homepage (the ONE that I use is:
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-177.82-pkg1.run )

I don't agree on this point. Why do you mess your system when packages are available? If you want nvidia drivers 180.29, you only need to install nvidia-kernel-source and nvidia-glx from the experimental repository (the latest drivers are always there).

If you have a kernel which makes you happy, keep it along with a kernel compiled by yourself. You will have an higher degree of freedom doing that. i.e. if you buy a new piece of hardware you could need to compile a recent kernel that has the right module for it, without waiting for a new kernel package from Debian.It's up to you.

Bye

Thank you Valerio,
of course you're right ! It did not correctly add using
NVIDIA-installer-programm to my note - it should have been pointed out to b)
self-compiled kernel.
As you mentioned in case of a) Debian has own packages in it's repository.

By the way:
My kernel 2.6.18.4 (running for a while of ~ 1,5 years) resulted of a previous
Debian Sarge installtion with a lower kernel-version, so I had to compile a
new kernel (to fit my hardware AND of course to learn more about
kernel-compiling and adjustment )and therefore the Debian-way at that time
was no option.

Greetings,
herbert

HiI'm Massimiliano Sist, I'm using debian testing on my sony vaio. Battery life is too short because a bug in kernel 2.6.32 2.6.33 2.6.34. This bug is fixed in 2.6.35 so I'm trying to install it from experimental, but I need linux-kbuild-2.6.35 that isn't in experimental repository...When��linux-kbuild-2.6.35 will be in experimental?
Thanks !!!Massimiliano

Maybe later today. But see:
http://wiki.debian.org/HowToRebuildAnOfficialDebianKernelPackage#Thestory oflinux-kbuild-2.6

Also, please report this bug properly so we can try to fix it in 2.6.32
for 'squeeze'.

Ben.
