If the link is not in place, nvidia-drivers will not build. |

There used to be a good system.map explanation here: |

however, it seems to have some problem at the moment. The google cached |

Sorry, cannot comment on whether the symlink should or should not be |

created, and it's been a lot since I built my last LFS. I have almost |

| 22 |
to create the link. But, as always, YMMV. |
