I've been reading that as well, but I have yet to find out why it is a bad
idea. Also, when my system was originally installed I didn't have
/usr/src/linux symlink, but until I made one I couldn't compile any modules.
So how would one tell code that needs to look for the kernel headers to look
somewhere else?
