Re: [Cooker] building kernel-source renders distribution kernelunusable

It can be removed by people who know what they are doing anyway. ie the built kernel version would be something like 2.4.8-34.1mdksrc If you do that change the version number (EXTRAVERSION) to something local to your site so make menuconfig will say something like 'Kernel 2.4.8-34.1mic This will force make install_modules to use another subdirectory for its modules.

The EXTRAVERSION macros are located in the main Makefile of the kernel.
