Nick, I found this in the Gentoo Forums.... Symlinks: Symlinks are necessary for both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. Create two symlinks for the 2.6 kernel that you will use: (1) /usr/src/linux and (2) /usr/src/linux-beta. These symlinks are sometimes depended upon by certain packages/ebuilds to determine which kernel to compile against such as nvidia-kernel/glx. The symlinks are basically used as a systemwide indication of which kernel sources are currently in use so are recommended.
My question is; Did you have to create the symlinks? (Also for a dummy like me, if you did, how?) Robert What Do Fish Say When They Hit a Concrete Wall?

Is 80-100 fps in tuxracer on an athlon 1133 with a GeForce2 MX/MX 400 ok? There must be something wrong with this Torvalds guy, doesn't he know .0 releases aren't supposed to work?
