You can do as you like; I generally leave them as kernel-source-<version>, because I keep a few around at a time. If you build and install a kernel-headers package, it sets up /usr/src/linux as a symlink to the installed headers directory (i.e. /usr/src/kernel-headers-<version> , IIRC). good times, Vineet -- Currently seeking opportunities in the SF Bay Area Please see http://www.doorstop.net/resume/
