I did something similar with my /usr/src directory - I don't want to waste
space on source files that I rarely use, so I moved the contents to a Zip
disk and replaced the src directory with a link to the directory on the
Zip. Strangely, I found that when I Verified the srpm (from Glint or the
command prompt) the Zip disk was checked and found to be good *BUT* when I
Upgraded the Zip disk was ignored, the link was over-written with a new
/usr/src folder and the new source files were written to my hard disk.
