Hi,


While doing a google search to read pages on who to compile a new Linux kernel the Debian way, I see some of them mentioning that I should first delete a symlink "linux" in /usr/src if it exists before I untar and unzip a download kernel file, and then recreate it. Some pages do not suggest this. Is this a step crucial?

I have a file:

(Remove all underscores,_if any_, from my email address to get the correct one. Apologies for the inconvenience, but this is to reduce spam.)
{src}> ls -1
kernel-headers-2.4.22-1
kernel-headers-2.4.22-1-686
kernel-image-2.4.22-nvidia_10.00.Custom_i386.deb
kernel-source-2.4.22
kernel-source-2.4.22-hs1
kernel-source-2.4.22.tar.bz2
modules
nvidia-kernel-2.4.22-nvidia_1.0.4496-2+10.00.Custom_i386.deb
nvidia-kernel-source.tar.gz
rpm



and I have extracted kernel-source-2.4.22.tar.bz2 and renamed the resulting directory to kernel-source-2.4.22-hs1. Then I enter this directory and continue the process of compiling the kernel (make-pgk clean, then menuconfig, then make step). I don't have the linux link. Will this be a problem?


Thanks,
->HS
