Little OT. Why is System.map optional but recommended? What is it for? And what should it be named? I see that instructions in CLFS http://cross-lfs.org/view/1.0.0/x86_64/bootable/kernel.html that it is copied with a name that contains the version. --Luca --

If your use of 'raw' is the same as mine (the kernel's own headers, not sanitised for userspace), this is definitely a very bad idea for 2.6. Fortunately, the kernel can now sanitise its own headers, which is what we do when we build LFS (fedora uses this, distros will undoubtedly move to

Which linux-headers project is that? The CLFS one? For x86, there's no reason to not use the sanitization scripts that are shipped with the kernel, i.e. make headers_install. Is this what you refer to as the raw headers? I am referring to the linux-libc-headers package per the LFS
