Randy,
   I did update the symlink:

gandalf ~ # ls -al /usr/src/
total 24
drwxr-xr-x  6 root root 4096 Dec 18 14:21 .
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Dec 18 06:50 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    0 Dec  2  2005 .keep
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   22 Dec 18 10:28 linux -> linux-2.6.18-gentoo-r4
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Mar 11  2006 linux-2.6.15-gentoo-r1
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Jul  9 10:33 linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r12
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Dec 18 13:34 linux-2.6.18-gentoo-r4
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Dec 18 10:56 linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r2
gandalf ~ #

   I did not execute any of the commands since this is the first time
I've seen a Gentoo kernel require stuff like that. I hate to mess with
the kernel source. I'm not a programmer and do not know what any of
this does or what the side effects of it might be.

   The commands are unclear to me in the sense that I may need to
rebuild the kernel, or not, after running them. I cannot tell. Any
idea?

Thanks,
Mark
