Here's my /usr/src directory:
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 1024 Feb 28 20:12 .
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 1024 Jun 8 2000 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13245 Aug 26 2000 .config
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Feb 28 20:12 linux -> linux-2.2.18
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 2048 Jan 5 19:58 linux-2.2.18
drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 2048 Feb 23 23:33 linux-2.4.2
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 1024 Jul 22 2000 redhat
Note how I have linux-2.2.18 softlinked (with the link named 'linux') This
is what /usr/src/linux is. The rest of it is explained below.

When you go to untar the linux kernel source, first put the archive in
/usr/src. Then (in that directory) 'tar xvzf linux-2.4.2.tar.gz' or
whatever version of code you have. You'll get a directory called 'linux'
rename it to linux-2.4.2 (following version 2.4.2 as the example). Set set
the links as follows:
ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.2 /usr/src/linux
then continue reading

Hope this isn't too confusing :)
