That will replace old files with a new ones of the same name, however do not
forget that kernel files come and go, names change, old "obsolite" files
will still remain after untaring the new kernel source without deleting ALL
old files first.
Karl, why dont you follow the linux documentaion when telling others what to
do.
Make a new directory;
cd /usr/src
{ Now depending on weather you have a symbolic link in /usr/src pointing to
linux, which is The Linux Way, do the following. }
With a symlink do;
rm linux
mkdir linux-2.0.35
ln -s linux-2.0.35 linux
tar xzf linux-2.0.35.tar.gz
cd linux
Read the README now like Karl says.
If linux is a normal directory do;
mv linux linux-old
mkdir linux-2.0.35
ln -s linux-2.0.35 linux
tar xzf linux-2.0.35.tar.gz :( the v(erbose) is optional, tar works faster
without it)
cd linux
Read the README now like Karl says.
