Dale, from one old `f..t' to another.. here is a little tip I use dozens of ways to aid my sorry failing memory. In ~/.inputrc Something like (verbatim): "\M-f": "ls -l `find ./ -iname 'bzimage'`" after saving ~/.inputrc, type C-x C-r to make readline re-read it. Then anytime you press Atl-f readline will put that command on the cmdline for you. So inside /usr/src/linux, Alt-f <enter> will dig up bzimage and show any deceitful symlinks for what they are... hehe. May not be that useful .. at least until someone sneaks in and moves bzimage again, but I guess you can imagine the many ways putting things in .inputrc will free you from remembering stuff.
