the other option is to edit /usr/src/linux/Makefile before you
start, and change the EXTRAVERSION variable from -22 (or whatever
it is) to another string, like -fred. the end result is that
your new kernel will have this as its new version (which you
can see with "cat /proc/version").
also, the new modules directory will reflect the EXTRAVERSION
variable as well, so you don't need to worry about clobbering
the original directory.
