unable to see symlink pointing to kernel source

[iggyman]

I am on section 7b.I used the command (ls -l /usr/src/linux).There is no symlink of the kernal to show.Sould I put in the example that is given ?The would be the next commands but it is said they are just examples.


# rm /usr/src/linux
# cd /usr/src
# ln -s linux-2.4.26-gentoo-r9 linux

This is the second time i redid the install.The first time i did it ,I followed the commands above and when i reached to change the directory (shown below),it said the was no file or directory found

# cd /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig

Yes if the symlink linux isn't there you can add it yourself.

But in this case, you gotta link to whichever kernel you've downloaded.
For eg. I am using hardened-dev-sources and the latest version for that at the time of writing is:

linux-2.6.7-hardened-r18

Therefore if I didn't have the linux symlink:
I would type

[iggyman]

how do i check which kernal was downlowded.I am in the src directory.what is the command?
This is what i have used to download


gentoo-sources (2.4 kernel source patched with performance-enhancing features)
