If you follow this method, won't you have the (potential) issue that '/lib/modules/2.6.17/source' and '/lib/modules/2.6.17/build' will be linked to a location inside your home directory? While this isn't a serious issue, it makes ~/kernel in your home directory a NON-temporary location. In that, future drivers or applications you might compile/install may require headers or other files from inside there. -Mauriat
