 messed up kernel config In past few days, people (expecially dave and darren) have provided some advice on how to compile the kernel. I couldn't help but notice that other people's procedures differ significanly from my own. For example, whenever I compile a new kernel, I never change the link /usr/src/linux. My system was installed using 2.2.19, but I'm running with 2.4.5 right now. /usr/src/linux links to /usr/src/linux-2.2.19. Is this a problem? So far, it doesn't seem to cause problems with using the system, compilation or anything else.      |

In fact my system doesn't even have a /usr/src/linux or a link to it. Ok so it does have a /usr/src/linux-2.4.22 but that is only because that's where I choose to keep the kernel sources. On most if not all of the recent distro's the kernel headers are installed in /usr/include with a separate package so the link to /usr/src/linux isn't required. -- Confucius: He who play in root, eventually kill tree.
