Use "tar -xvf ..." to get verbose output (filenames) during the extraction.

Or, use "tar -tvf ..." to get a table of contents of the archive.
(You probably want to pipe that through less, or some other pager.)

​Many thanks,  I did this and then realised that the creation date of Jan
23rd for the linux 4.14.15 directory created is for this kernel - that is
the date given for it being made on the kernel.org site.

I now what planet I am on here with this.

A trap here was that I already have a kernel installed which is 4.14.15 rc8
so I could have ​mistaken it for that so it was not as simple as looking
for a file with 4.14.15 in it etc in /usr/src etc.

It's OK.

I will try copying the config file from the 4.14.15rc8 kernel (where ever
that might live - I am going to have to learn to find them by sense of
smell) and use it for the compilation.

Cheers

MF
