What is up here ?
Well, I always store there all the sources related with my kernel,
modules, etc... I haven't get any problem... BTW, remember doing the
symlink to /usr/src/linux from your kernel-source.
Well then why the warning from the Kernel developers? And what's
this about symlinking? Symlinking what to what ?
Anybody? Where do people dump their kernel source anyway???

When I compile my own kernels, I usually put them in /usr/local/src/ ,
then make a symlink from linux-version to kernel. That way, when a new
kernel comes out i just remove the symlink from the old to the new. I find
it's easier to do it that way when I have to recompile modules, that way
I always point the config to /usr/local/src/kernel . I leave /usr/src
out, because thats where the debian kernel source files will go if I need
to download them and I dont want things to get confused.
