Default getting at newer linux-headers

How do I get to the newer (2.6) linux-headers? On gentoo-portage.com,
they're listed as -* (no x86 or even ~x86). No matter what I set
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to, it won't let me get the new headers. I'm sure it's
something painfully obvious, so thanks in advance.

That means they're valid for EVERY architecture.

Do you run a 2.6 kernel, or have one installed ?
Then you also have the headers, no ?
You just have to make sure that /usr/include/linux points to the right
place (which it automatically will if /usr/src/linux points to the right
kernel tree).

Quite painful, yes : you have kernel -> you have headers.

Oops sorry, that shoulda been "obvious" ;-)
