Apologies David, I should have added that I have that in there already, 
since it's the kernel that I'm running.

I've extracted all the files from the linux-source-2.6.11 but the nvidia 
installer gives me the following error message when I point it to my 
kernel source:

ERROR: If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
        you either have configured kernel sources matching your
        kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
        on your system.

        If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
        you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
        installed on your system. If you specified a separate
        output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
        the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
        directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
        the appropriate nvidia-installer command line option.
ERROR: Installation has failed.  Please see the file
        '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details.  You may find 
suggestions
        on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux
        driver download page at www.nvidia.com.

I will now list ALL the 2.6.11's I have installed:

linux-doc-2.6.11
linux-headers-2.6.11-1-amd64-k8
linux-source-2.6.11
linux-tree-2.6.11
linux-image-2.6.11-1-amd64-k8
linux-patch-ubuntu-2.6.11
