[SOLVED] n00b question - changing default kernel directory

[kleinishere]

Whenever I emerge things or deal with kernels in installing and patching things it automatically goes to /usr/src/linux. I have manually downloaded, extracted, and compiled the 2.6.8.1 kernel in /usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1 . I would like it to automatically go there instead of going to /usr/src/linux.

One example of what it does is shown when I emerge madwifi-driver:

/usr/src/linux is a symbolic link to the correct directory.

To update it, just do:

That worked wonderfully, now onto my wireless

thanks a lot 26199
