Dear List, I wanted some info regarding where to extract the vanilla kernel sources.
According to the vanilla 2.6 readme, it categorically asks the user not to put the sources in /usr/src/linux, as that is generally the place where the kernel headers reside for most distributions. What, then, is the conventional location for extracting the kernel sources? On my machine, I've had no problems with keeping it in my home directory, as the make install automatically creates a symbolic link in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/ and all apps needing the kernel sources find it. However, on systems with many users, what is the conventional location where kernel sources are put (if they are made available at all)? Thanks.
