This and later message from someone else say to create a symbolic link to kernel-source-<version>. Why? AFAIK, it is unnecessary. (Or, I am blissfully ignorant of something.) If the below were modified by removing the "ln -s" line and changing the "cd linux" to "cd kernel-source-<version>" it would all work just as well. No chance of having a link point at the wrong place, either.
