Actually it was me who brought this up. And all I said was that I seemed to remember, so I'm not sure, could be something totally different, and elas, debian's archive's search doesn't work for the latest postings, so I can't easily check. But I did notice some posts where that very link (/usr/src/linux) was adviced as a remedy, and such posts didn't get angry follow-ups explaining how bad it is, so maybe it is just my rusty memory giving me problems he:) But I keep hearing this humming in the back of my head: /usr/src/linux symlink is trouble. Don't know where I picked it up though. -- groetjes, carel
