The other thing to watch out for is that if you extract a complete new
distribution, rename the old one before you start, otherwise you will
end up with a /usr/src/linux tree with a mix of old and new files which
is not likely to work. What I normally do is name the top directory of
the sources by version number and make /usr/src/linux a symbolic link
to the current one, e.g.

	/usr/src/linux -> linux.1.3.xx
			  linux.1.2.13
