dir structure in tarball

anyone else loose thier most current /usr/src/linux as the new archive
is not in /usr/scr/linux2.2.1 like I figured it would be (my bad for not

checking )  but overwrote my copy of 2.0.35 as that's where the symlink
/usr/src/linux was pointing

just wondering if I'm the only one.

It's _alway_ /usr/src/linux. If it is not the first kernel you're
installing you should know it. And if it is the first time ... well,
now you know you should _always_ check tar archives before unpacking
:-)

I've done it plenty of times.  Hey, I've reinstalled the system more than
remember too.  :T
