/usr/src wget(blah) read-only file system

[Ronald Varnum]

The reason those directories are left in /usr/src is because there was a
problem while compiling them and so they did not complete.  You need to lin
those again.

If you use tmpfs -- I don't think there is a need for this anymore --
you have to unmount the directories before you can delete them. This
could cause the problem you describe.
