| How do I make a kernel symlink? I'm having some problems with video and I want to emerge ati-drivers but I think I need to make sure that /usr/src/linux points to the right kernel, which it doesn't! I may have been able to find it but it's really hard for me to read anything on my screen right now so it was really hard for me to look around. THANKS! |

| Code: | | ln -s <your kernel> linux |

'make install' in the kernel sources directory will - among other things - create the correct symlink. for the next time you need it

You can always do to see more about the command. I don't even know how else you can use it. I think you can make hard links in addition to symlinks too..
