- Good questions! As a matter of fact, you just took them out of my
- mouth. Let's hope the responses will also be public.
-
- One additional thing I would add to your question is that I would also
- like to know the exact uncompress and tar parameters to be used for
- installing the new kernel source. For instance, is the h switch to be
- used to force tar to follow the symbolic links as if they were normal
- files and directories?

- But what about those, who already got the kernel 0.99 source on their
- system via the SLS packages?

- Another question stolen from me! ;-)
