Thanks for the information. Two follow-up questions if you don't mind. Q1: Why does Linux keep identical directories/files under two different places, /usr/src/linux-<some_number>/ and /lib/modules/<some_number>/build/? Q2: What are the potential problems if modules include header files under /usr/src/linux-<some_number>/? We can use the right lk number to include the right header files under /usr/src/linux-<some_number>, right?
