It should be copied, and not symlinked. /boot must not have any symlinks into /usr, in case /usr is trashed and you're trying to recover. If the symlink went the other way, from /usr/src/linux/.config into /boot/.config, then "make config" would be changing the configuration file for the running kernel as well as the one you're about to build. This would sabotage the purpose of putting .config into /boot, because you could no longer trust that /boot/.config represents the active kernel. ************** MICHAEL SCOTT ORR <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ***************** * * 1405 NE 56th Street, Seattle, WA 98105 USA * English * * * Tel: +1 (206) 522-9627, fax: 328-6209 * Russki * * * Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Esperanto * ***************** (Insert silly quote here) ************************ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
