As far as I can see from reading the makefiles, and from looking at the output when it's actually run, make mrproper does not create any symlinks. Old libcs (pre version 6) needed symlinks from /usr/include into the kernel include files, but that's obsolete with glibc, and tends to cause more problems than it solves. > > i always use make clean. :) > That will not help when installing a new kernel source. > If you look into the kernel source top dir Makefile you will see that "cl= ean" > only removes an amount of unwanted configureation *.h files, mrproper rem= oves > logfiles, files preceeded with a .

Plus, new tarballs of kernel sources are supposed to be clean and mrproper to begin with. Anyway, if you want a really clean source tree, make distclean is more thorough, as it gets rid of patch(1) related detritus as well, which mrproper has a habit of leaving behind.
