I thought 'make mrproper took care of symbolic links to asm and include files.?
and why could it be danerous to have /usr/src/linux, after all the directory
"linux" should be a symbolic link to the kernel version, normally
/usr/src/linux-{version} is a symlink to /usr/src/linux that is AFAIK "the
linux way" of doing things, or at least thats how slackware does it, if that
were dangerous then they certainly would not do it that way would they.?
