Holy cow! RedHat's advertising campaign is taking over your system!! :-) Take a deep breath, relax. First, that redhat subdirectory is created by alien or rpm -- one of those two. So nothing's wrong there. The /usr/src/linux "subdir" is only a symbolic link. It points to another subdirectory named "kernel-source-2.0.36" or something similar (the kernel version numbers will change). If it doesn't exist, a "ln -s kernel-source-2.0.36 linux" command executed in /usr/src will recreate it. If you have no kernel-source* subdirs, then simply use dselect to install whatever kernel package you want. -- Regards, | Debian GNU/Linux - http://www.debian.org - More software than . | *any* distribution, rock solid reliability, quality control, Randy | seamless upgrades via ftp or CD-ROM, strict filesystem layout | and adherence to standards, and militantly 100% FREE Linux!
