I was going to, but there are so many if these patches and configs I think |
| 12 |
maybe I'll be better off writing from scratch. After all it only has to |
| 13 |
extract an archive and little else. |

The problem is: when there are several linux-sources and |
| 23 |
linux-sources-vanilla emerged together, in /usr/src there are the links |
| 24 |
'linux' and 'linux-2.4' ehich must point to either sources or vanilla. How do |
| 25 |
we decide? Do we create a link to ourselves (i.e. vanilla) if there is no |
| 26 |
other link? |
| 27 |
A worse problem is /lib/modules. Here each kernel's modules dir is only |
| 28 |
identified by the version number, and each has a link back to its kernel |
| 29 |
sources! What do we do? |
