earlier I posted about ln -f not working...but it seemed to work for my
test.  

this is what I mean:


root at stang:/usr/src# ls -l
total 34276
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           11 Apr 28 17:16 linux -> linux-2.6.5/
drwxr-xr-x   15 573      573           744 Apr 28 17:11 linux-2.4.25/
drwxrwxr-x   18 500      500          1152 Aug  5 17:21 linux-2.6.5/
drwxrwxr-x   18 500      500           624 Aug  5 17:20 linux-2.6.7/
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root     35092228 Aug  5 17:19 linux-2.6.7.tar.bz2
root at stang:/usr/src# ln -sf linux-2.6.7 linux
root at stang:/usr/src# ls -l

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           11 Apr 28 17:16 linux -> linux-2.6.5/
drwxr-xr-x   15 573      573           744 Apr 28 17:11 linux-2.4.25/

drwxrwxr-x   18 500      500           624 Aug  5 17:20 linux-2.6.7/
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root     35092228 Aug  5 17:19 linux-2.6.7.tar.bz2
root at stang:/usr/src#


shouldn't ln -sf linux-2.6.7 linux make linux by a sym link to linux-2.6.7?
