But I might yet acquire full rights to it.. So, is the symlink not really necessary? Doe something look at /usr/src/linux for files? For example, if you cd 'ed into the sources top dir. And started `make' (after the makeconfig step), would it matter if there was a symlink or not? (In the instant case I did create the symlink looking at newest sources, so all is well I hope... have yet to boot the creation. Waiting on some emerging left in emerge -vuD system)
