Well, if you are installing the kernel source to recompile, then it doesn't 
matter.  If you are installing it for the headers, then the *normal* place is 
/usr/src/linux.. but if you make the right symlinks, you should be fine.

If you aren't doing either, then it doesn't matter since you never had to 
install the kernel sources in the first place :-)
