    Hello,

    I'm 14 years old, and i'm french. When I've making package for my distribution,
    FNux, of the 2.4.23, I see a big problem.

    The extraversion variable of the Makefile is very badly interpreted.
    When the kernel is installed, I have 2 directory of modules :
    /lib/modules/2.4.23
    /lib/modules/2.4.23-fnux (my extraversion is -fnux)

    This is a very problem for the linux distributions, beacause the EXTRAVERSION is
    often used.

    Thanks
    Alexis ROBERT
