Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware there was a copy in a different location,
that's handy. Another question though - the copy in /usr/src/kernels/ is
world-readable and the one in /boot/ isn't, for example

[root@compaq-pc ~]# ls -l /boot/System.map-3.5.2-3.fc17.x86_64
/usr/src/kernels/3.5.2-3.fc17.x86_64/System.map
-rw-------. 1 root root 2468248 Aug 21 15:24 
/boot/System.map-3.5.2-3.fc17.x86_64
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2468248 Aug 21 15:25
/usr/src/kernels/3.5.2-3.fc17.x86_64/System.map
[root@compaq-pc ~]#

Is there a reason for that?
