I guess you could work without changing that link, but that would oblige you
to type again and again "linux-2.2.4" while setting up the new kernel. If
the link points to the directory tree of the new kernel, you can type just
"linux", which is a bit shorter. AND there may be some programs that refer
to the kernel files with "linux".
Well, I changed the link by deleting it ("rm linux") and then making a new
one by typing "ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.2.4 linux" at the command prompt (in
the /usr/src directory, of course). There must be a better way (just
changing the target, without deleting the link), but I'm kind of a newbie
too (others helped me with upgrading to 2.2.4).
You may want to verify first under KDE or with "ls" what are exactly the
contents of your /usr/src directory.
