after it starts installing , it starts a shell in F4
(hit <alt F4>)
it takes a while before it starts doing things in /usr/???
so while it's busy doing that, you can nip in and do:
rm -r /usr.src
mkdir /src
(maybe it's already there if you made it in the install)
ln -s /src /usr/src
remember the shell on VTY4 is already running chroot on the hard disk
so what you see on that shell is what will eventually be there...
