# Linux Kernel Module Cheat

### 38.8. Custom build directory

For now there is no way to change the build directory from `out/` (resp. `out.docker` for <<docker>.) to something else.

However, if you just want to place the build storage in your hard drive and the source in your SSD, which is a good configuration if you are doing lots of builds, just create a symlink as:

    mkdir -p /mnt/hd/linux-kernel-module-cheat-out
    ln -s out /mnt/hd/linux-kernel-module-cheat-out
