build symlink to a kernel version

Hi,

uname -a shows "Linux linux-qon1 2.6.25.5-1.1-default #1 SMP 2008-06-07 01:55:22 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux" where as there is a symbolic link between this version and linux-2.6.25.18-0.2

How may I compile to make uname -a show  linux-2.6.25.18-0.2 as the current kernel version.

Hi,

    given that uname shows 2.6.25.5-11. When i run command sh nvidia ....###3.run i get a error message. Basically it does not find the kernel.h file in the /usr/src/includes/ of the 2.6.25.5-11 folder.

            I find that there is a symlink between 2.6.25.5-11 and 2.6.25.18-0.2 folder. linux-2.6.25.18-0.2 folder has the needed kernel.h file (in its subfolder). So it occurs that if have uname  show me linux-2.6.25.18-0.2 in the display then i can have this command successfully run (sh nvidia_.....###3.#.run)

BRgds,
