I understand compiling and the files involved but I don't yet know where 
all these files go during a kernel compilation.  Doesn't "apt-get 
install" put kernel sources in subdirectories of /usr/src ?  I guess 
this is what you mean with your next sentence?

If I modify the sources and then reinstall them of course I would be in 
trouble?
