74 Yeah, though I wouldn't be surprised if there was already a
75 way to automate this that I just haven't bothered to learn.
76 For now I just create them again each time I change my
77 /usr/src/linux symlink:
78
79 basement ~ # cd /usr/src/linux
80 basement linux # cp ~/localversion* .
81 basement linux # ln -sf localversion2 .version

83 --Mike
