Ayup! That's what i do. That's but not the problem. The problem is I can't untar the 'linux' directory as linux-2.0.x directory. I have to untar everything in a separate directory. eg
cd /tmp tar zxvf linux-2.0.tar.gz su mv linux /usr/src/linux-2.0 ln -s linux-2.0 linux
I have to untar it this way so I don't overwrite my existing linux directories...
rep00857:~$ ls /usr/src/linux* -d /usr/src/linux/ /usr/src/linux-2.0/ /usr/src/linux-1.3.57/ /usr/src/linuxggi/
Like i said, it's no big deal. It's just a minor inconvenience on my part. I am the kind of person that likes to keep multiple versions of kernel sources in separate directories. Also, I am too lazy to use...
(cd /usr/src; zcat ~/patch* | patch)
...coz I can download the entire kernel source from a nearby university within 45 seconds. ( Ethernet rulez! :)
