Yeah, you should probably put your kernel version in assuming you 
actually installed your kernel from the Debian package (otherwise, if 
you built the kernel yourself, the source will already be there right?).

The backslash continues that command on the next line ... and after the 
backslash you hit enter ... then type the rest of that.  But actually 
you can just continue it all on the same line if you want.  People just 
usualy have to shorten their commands for presentation purposes ... and 
they do so in a way that the shell will actually understand.

So, as an example

ls /home /etc

is the same as

ls /home \
    /etc
