The linux-headers package is installed into the /usr/src/linux tree. If you |
| 9 |
already have a kernel unpacked there, linux-headers will happily overwrite |
| 10 |
the header files. |

Personally, I have /usr/src/linux pointing to my kernel source tree, and I use |
| 13 |
emerge's inject option to make portage think that linux-headers is already |
| 14 |
installed (so that it doesn't try to overwrite). |
