Hi,

I'm having lots of fun trying to get the correct kernel source package
for my Debian Woody machine.

I've used the bf24 installation of Woody but running apt-get install
kernel-source presents the following.

wt-linux-04:~# uname -a
Linux wt-linux-04 2.4.18-bf2.4 #1 Son Apr 14 09:53:28 CEST 2002 i686
unknown
wt-linux-04:~# apt-get install kernel-source
Reading Package Lists... Done

Package kernel-source is a virtual package provided by:
  kernel-source-2.4.18 2.4.18-9
  kernel-source-2.4.17 2.4.17-1woody1
  kernel-source-2.2.20 2.2.20-5woody2
  kernel-source-2.5.69 2.5.69-1
  kernel-source-2.4.21 2.4.21-2
  kernel-source-2.4.20 2.4.20-8
  kernel-source-2.4.19-ia64 020821.1
  kernel-source-2.4.19-hppa 22.2
  kernel-source-2.4.19 2.4.19-8
  kernel-source-2.4.18-hppa 62.3
  kernel-source-2.2.25 2.2.25-2
  kernel-source-2.4.17-ia64 011226.13
  kernel-source-2.4.17-hppa 32.1
  kernel-source-2.4.16 2.4.16-1
  kernel-source-2.4.14 2.4.14-1
  kernel-source-2.4.10 2.4.10-1
  kernel-source-2.2.22 2.2.22-1
You should explicitly select one to install.
E: Package kernel-source has no installation candidate
wt-linux-04:~#

It's causing problems when I'm trying to compile a module for a network
card...

Any suggestions welcome.
