Note: This guide only applies to 1.6.2 or lower.
Since our ISO is pretty outdated right now (work has begun on a new release, yet, there is no release date in sight. Its going to be ready ‘when its done’ ™) it does require a special kind of way to install it properly. This guide [...]
Our main server is currently undergoing mandatory maintenance. Please be patient and bear with us until our administrative squirrels (well, just one squirrel actually) have completed their nutty works.

this correctly creates /usr/src/linux/include/version.h, and should [...]
