Hi Hamish. > Just use /usr/local/src instead of /usr/src; your OS vendor (Debian > or Red Hat or whoever) really has control of /usr/src jsut like any > other /usr directory (except local). I compile kernels from > /usr/local/src; works just fine. Personally, I have /usr/src/linux as a symlink to /usr/local/linux which is itself a symlink [currently] to /usr/local/Linux/2.0.36 and I've never had any problems with that... Best wishes from Riley.
