10 I'm sorry for being so dense but that isn't clear to my pea brain
11 either.

13 The idea from above is to end up with:
14
15 localversion1
16 localversion2 -> .version
17 .version
18
19 Where:
20 localversion1 contains HOSTNAME
21 .version contains number `N' (current build)
22 localversion2 is symlinked to .version
23
24 All under /usr/src/linux ?
25
26 If you're sick of trying to explain it to me... maybe a pointer to the
27 documentation?
