Re: problem with my system includes
Ya, that's pretty much what I did I believe and it works fine. There are
already dirs of those names in /usr/include, so you'llhave to either
delete them or rename them. I recommend renaming them as a precaution. I
don't use debian packages for kernels anymore, so symlinking them to
/usr/src/linux/ works best for me. Once you symlink those dirs, and
reboot your machine with whatever kernel /usr/src/linux is, you should be
fine. As for removing your old kernel, you shouldn't have to worry about
it. Old kernels don't get in the way as far as I Know.
