OK ..

Whenever I compile a kernel (which isn't very often) I download source from
kernel.org (say linux-2.4.20.tar.gz ) unpack it to /usr/src/linux-2.4.20 and
then create a symlink from /usr/src/linux to /usr/src/linuc-2.4.20

after compiling and installing a shiny new kernel 
uname -r

says 2.4.20 (in this case)

How do you get the extra tag on the end ?

Thanks

AED
