Description Russell Francis 2004-04-10 13:50:09 UTC
In the /usr/src/UPDATING file, the instructions for rebuilding the kernel when you know it won't mess anything up list a step

cd ../../compile/KERNEL

which should really be

cd ../compile/KERNEL

Thanks, that was the pathname for 4.X and it looks like it never got
changed.  I added a little bit more text above this to bring it a little
into line with what's available in 5.X.
