Nobody, and I mean nobody, suggested doing this for FC2 so far.
ok, my bad and sorry for the exclamation points. I saw the change made
to rawhide and thought that might be a proposal for FC2.
we already don't ship /usr/src/linux since about RHL7.1 days...
no, but you ship /usr/src/linux-<version>; most people will find that.
me too. That's one example. What I'm saying is that, if the
"standard"
way of making a change to your kernel in Linux is to recompile from
source in /usr/src/linux-$(uname -r), and on Fedora Core that is not the
way to do it, it's got to be very well documented and public that the
"new" way is to do <foo>.
Anyhow, thanks for reading.
