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.
