I guess I *must* have one of those broken derivatives... and it doesn't work
for me without that step...  Admittedly, this is mostly an issue between
2.2.xx and 2.4.0 - but I do have to remember to change it back between

Well...hmm, what doesn't work?  You mean you can't build a kernel
unless you make /usr/src/linux point to the kernel source you're
building?  This is odd, as I haven't done that...ever!  In fact,
there's no directories in /usr/src on my machine.

IIRC, there was a time (long before 2.0) that kernel builds did look for
includes in /usr/include/, so you had to unpack (or symlink) your kernel in
/usr/src/linux/. Fortunately the include path was changed to put
root_of_build/include first.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
