It sounds like you are talking about extracted and built source trees and not tarballs. If this is the case, yes you can remove them. The only purpose they would serve is for comparison when encountering errors and such. > Oh BTW, since kernel headers are installed separately now, is there any > reason to keep the kernel source tree around? Very little. There is the occasional package that looks in there, but those packages are few and far between anymore. Worse case scenario is just that you have to unpack the kernel before building something. -- Archaic Want control, education, and security from your operating system?
