I always put my sources in /usr/local/src and compile them there...excluding kernel sources. I believe those go in /usr/src (following guidelines from http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/Compiling_Kernels/Kernel_Configuration_and_Compilation.html).
I use the above link everytime I make a kernel (which isn't much) or modules. It's a very thorough HowTo. -- Ron aka W|GGL|T http://www.wigglit.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
