You ought to be compiling the kernel in its own dedicated directory, such as
/home/knoppix/linux-2.6.7
The /usr/src/linux area is not for compiling the kernel, as Linus himself writes on this page:
http://www.linuxmafia.com/faq/Kernel...x-symlink.html
It's handy not to delete the source directory once you've finished, in case you want to compile things like linux-wlan-ng in the future.
From the man!
If this fails again I'll give that a go.
Your problem seems to be with the Knoppix kernel as it makes no difference whatsoever if you use a symlink or not. Do yourself a favor and install a distro that was meant to be installed. (like Kanotix) Knoppix certainly was not meant for such duty as it is a live cd only and makes for a very hard to upgrade system not to mention the many threads just like this where users suddenly cannot do something as simple as compile a kernel! It just makes no sense.
In my experience compiling a (stock, from kernel.org) kernel under Knoppix has always been perfect.
What I find annoying after having Knoppix on the hard drive for a while is that it inherits Debian's difficulty of configuration (at least with the Debian-style install) and the packages are a mish-mash from stable/testing/sid. This makes adding hardware tricky and apt-get upgrade an uncertain thing. Of course that's all rather necessary and I'm not complaining.
> ... where users suddenly cannot do something as simple as compile a kernel!
I remember the first time I did it: With great care and not a lot of confidence. Perhaps new users get the two feelings mixed up.
That is exactly what I'm referring to but please see it for what it really is. This is not a Debian problem. Debian SID does not have the upgrade problems.Originally Posted by gruntbuggly
Not necessary? Well I suppose no not technically except for security issues. But it is NOT a problem to do an upgrade every day. I'll show you.This makes adding hardware tricky and apt-get upgrade an uncertain thing. Of course that's all rather necessary and I'm not complaining.

Enjoy!
Maybe you can tell me how to get keramik back into my list of styles for kde - after an uprade a couple of weeks ago it disappeared and only the ordinary qt styles are left. Google suggests this is something to do with binary incompatibility between kde and qt packages, also it appears this issue is not Knoppix-specific. Hence my comment about apt-get upgrade.
