Since this manual is also for beginners with debian, it should be beginner-friendly. There are two problems with this: 1. the manual assumes, that the kernel-source is located in /usr/local/src. When we install the kernel-source with the package management system (and this is recommended for beginners, isn't it), it is located in /usr/src. 2. man is told to create a directory under /usr/local/src/, but this dir isn't used anymore.

It only assumes that you will want to extract the tarbal to /usr/local/src. The command to extract the kernel sources included the path to /usr/src for that reason. However, after some consultation, I have changed this to use home instead. I've also fixed some other changes since Woody. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
