No. Apt wouldn't do that. Hard enough to figure out what that would be for
any given system, and apt isn't brilliant enough to realize that you might
want to change a few things. It's Good, but not That good. :-)
You should find the 2.2.17 tarball in the /usr/src directory. "tar xzf" it
and reset /ysr/src/linux to point to the new directory.
If you have your old .config file in the 2.2.16 source directory (saved
perhaps under some other name?) it can be read into the new sources and changes
made as desired (at least under "make menuconfig"... it's been too long since I've used anything
else).
