Is there a particular place you put the extracted files ? 

Reason is from time to time I do a fresh install of a new version of linux 
(running Kubuntu 9.04 at present but thinking of trying Mehpis)

I have a number of partitions that i don't destroy and thought i could extract 
the source code in there and _all_ will be well or is this bad, wrong, 
thinking.

I usually stay within the system repo's so never really built from source 
code.

Your guidance on this would be great.

Dave.
