Kernel Compilation

[Chuck Hallenbeck]

Ace,

You have the arguments in the wrong order on your ln command. You want
the linux-2.6.10 to come before the linux argument. The way you did it
was asking that a symbolic link be created called "linux-2.6.10", and
you want your symbolic link to be called "linux".
