OK, I did this again.  In addition to seeing
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.10-4-686, I also see /usr/src/linux which
is a symbolic link.  Also, /usr/src/linux-OLDVERSION.1110846034 is
another sym link to the same dir.

"Bad luck, the kernel headers for this kernel version could not be
found and you did not specify other kernel headers to use."  (OK)

"However, you can install the header files for your kernel which are
provided by the linux-headers-2.6.10-4-686 package ...  run the
PREPARE command ..." (OK)

Of course, this says it wasn't built, go do a build.

ii  linux-headers- 2.6.10-25      Header files related to Linux kernel version
ii  linux-headers- 2.6.10-25      Linux kernel headers 2.6.10 on PPro/Celeron/
ii  linux-headers- 2.6.11-0.2     Header files related to Linux kernel version
ii  linux-headers- 2.6.11-0.2     Linux kernel headers 2.6.11 on PPro/Celeron/
ii  linux-headers- 2.6.11-0.2     Linux kernel headers 2.6.11 on PPro/Celeron/


Any other ideas?

Thanks.
