3.0 version number: good to make links ; linux utils: correctfdisk, rdev

I read people have problems with the 3.0 vs. 3.0.0 kernel
version.
I also think that the version of the package and
internelly that of the kernel should be equal.
However, that's not a real problem. It's suficient to make
just links. With this, everything works completely normal,
also depmod etc. , since 3.0-rc1
Although this is trivial, because of the big discusion
about this, one should tell this the people. Simply put
in the kernel slackbuild script, to make such links,
always if the package / source .bz2 number is diferent to
the version number in makefile. Also in the kernel
source makefile should be included to make auch links
automatically always if the package and kernel version
numbers are different.
What however seems to be removed from the linux kernel
tools, is rdev . That should be put back, because that's
important, specially for building distro kernels, to put
in vmlinuz the bootdev to 0x80 and videomod 0 as default
(and also for the installer on the user's computer, which
adapt it to the user's computer)
There is a next problem that recent versions of fdisk
starts only with sector 2048 for the 1st partition. This
gives problems, because some systems needs to start with
sector 63 or 129. This also should be return as it was.
