Basic Kernel Question
 

Hi,

in usr.src there are 2 files : linux and linux-2.4.21-0.13mdk

What is the difference between these 2 as the contents are the same?
When adding eg apm support I am told to configure usr/src/linux only and do all the "make" stuff here. Also is this common for all distros or just Mandrake.

Thanks in advance

they will be the same directory, just with a different name. try...

ls /usr/src

and you should see "linux -> linux-2.4.20"

and the instructions are for everyone, not just mandrake.

actually, it's ls -l /usr/src :)
