Installing source code for programs to compile

[Caps18]

Where do I find the linux-source package and the linux-headers package? Are they on the CD that I can copy to /usr/src (is that the right place...)? Or do I need to download them from the old-releases.ubuntu.com site?

The issue now is that the nVidia installer from their website wants the source code to build the right packages for this machine, however, I do not have the src directory with the source code that it is looking for. Is there some way to give this too it now?

I am running Mythbuntu 7.10

Thanks

If you were running a supported release, you'd open Software Sources and tic the box next to Source Code, then reload your sources.list. I don't know if this will work for an EOL release.

It is good to know about that in the future, I think it may have worked when I used this location.
