I am trying a stage 3 install from the Universal 2004.3 CD on a Pentium4, after a 2 week hiatus from my previous attempt. Being cautious this time, since simple mistakes are what tripped me up before. I am at step 7.b. of the install now, and have come across something which I am not sure is set up right...

After doing # emerge gentoo-dev-sources I entered # ls -l /usr/src/linux. The handbook says the result should look like this:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Month Day Time /usr/src/linux -> linux-2.4.26-gentoo-r9

My result looks like this:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Month Day Time /usr/src/linux -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-gentoo-r1

I know the difference in kernal number is just because what is in the handbook is an example. That isn't a concern. What I am unsure about is whether the /usr/src/ in /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-gentoo-r1 is ok or is the result of some mistake along the way.

If it isn't ok, any help would be appreciated.

If it is, then is that something I should have written down to plug in at some later step in the install?

You are fine.. No problem with the difference there...

If you are concerned, delete the link and re-create it:
Code:
# cd /usr/src
# rm linux
# ln -s linux-2.6.9-gentoo-r1 linux
# ls -l linux

Right, I realized that much. Wasn't sure which directory I should be going to.
