I always put my sources in /usr/local/src and compile them there...excluding kernel sources. I believe those go in /usr/src (following guidelines from http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/Compiling_Kernels/Kernel_Configuration_and_Compilation.html). I use the above link everytime I make a kernel (which isn't much) or modules. It's a very thorough HowTo. -- Ron aka W|GGL|T http://www.wigglit.com
