I was just wondering who removed my work from quiche, and why?
I did. The root partition was running out of space, and I wanted to
install some random new sources, so I moved /usr/src to the
/usr/athena partition, which has plenty of space. When I noticed that
/usr/src/linux was a symlink to usr/athena/kernel/linux (I _think_ it
was), I assumed that /usr/athena/kernel was created to solve the
problem of not enough space on the root partition, and since this
problem no longer existed, I moved the kernel sources back into the
/usr/src tree, and nuked /usr/athena/kernel.
When you want to do personal work locally on quiche, you should keep
it somewhere local, like /home/warlord, rather than somewhere global,
like /usr.
Also, I noticed that /usr/src/linux
contains a 1.1.53 kernel WITH MY CHANGES!
This is bad. So I've created /home/warlord and moved /usr/src/linux
there. I've installed a fresh, new 1.1.54 source tree in /usr/src.
Have a nice day.
