I see as with most distro's there is a header and source install (emerge) so when I update to the latest source ... does this update the headers as well ? I'm asking this as I saw that /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm is actual directories. I usually soft link /usr/include/linux to /usr/src/linux/include/linux and /usr/include/asm to /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386 and since /usr/src/linux is linked to current kernel .. I always have my running kernel headers for everything else ? Is this a bad way of doing things ... comments ? Henti Smith
