I am sorry, but I can't seem to make it work.
I am using ptxdist 2011.12.0, and if I do
ptxdist kernelconfig, it will try to download the kernel.

I  straced the whole thing :
strace -f -o kernelconfig.log ptxdist kernelconfig

To find out why it was not finding my link
And could not find any occurence of local_src in it.
