Typically these are symbolic links into /usr/src/linux/include/asm and /usr/src/linux/include/linux. You could just link them into where ever you built the kernel and you be just fine, but imho it is easier to do it in /usr/src and not worry about forgetting to do it. For a lot of people this wont make to much difference, but if you compile programs the information in these directories can change between revisions. Eric
