According to the LFS documentation
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter08/kernel.html
the /usr/src/linux symlink pointing to the kernel source directory
should _NOT_ be created. The gentoo practice is different. Can someone
comment on this matter? Is the symlink necessary or is it some
historical leftover? I was under the impression that it is necessary to
install Nvidia drivers. Is this correct?
And what should be done with the System.map file? Copy it to /boot under
which name? (I mean, when booting with a particular kernel, how does the
kernel know the path to the correct System.map?)
