Yes. You might have noticed that the root directory in the kernel tarball is called "linux". Thus, if you have a symlink to another kernel source called that, it would untar the files into the other kernel source's directory. -- Björn Lindström <[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bkhl.elektrubadur.se/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
