As I wrote above, some instructions suggest deleting it and recreating 
it to my new kernel directory. So if I do not have it, I was wondering 
if I should create it (of course I cannot "re"create it).

In any case, I was also expecting someone who says I *should* have that 
link to also be able to give a reason why.
