[OpenAFS] OpenAFS 1.2.2 Builds 2.4.3-12 Modules under 2.4.9-6

[Computers in Medicine]

You guys really like to make a newbie sweat!  I tried to build a kernel
module for 2.4.9-6 from source as Derrick suggested, with the following
results.  Did I do it right, and why wouldn't /usr/src/linux exist?  What
should I do about it?  I'd really appreciate any pointers to a source of
documentation since I haven't done this before and all I can do is follow
directions and hope it works.  Thanks.
