Comment 1 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-26 14:01:03 UTC 
All handbooks use 

"""
rm /usr/src/linux
cd /usr/src
ln -s linux-${VERSION} linux
"""

and no "ln -sf"... A quick grep shows "ln -sf" being used for the localtime file.
Comment 2 Toralf Förster gentoo-dev 2004-11-27 06:01:46 UTC 
In http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/migration-to-2.6.xml#doc_chap3 :

# cd /usr/src
# ln -sf linux-2.6.9-gentoo-r2 linux
Comment 3 Xavier Neys (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-27 06:16:42 UTC 
You're right
Comment 4 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-27 06:18:12 UTC 
Ah, sorry, I saw "Handbook" as a component...
Comment 5 Xavier Neys (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-27 06:19:39 UTC
