i understand... but when i change the .config file severely, don't i have to do a make clean? or can i change the config file as much as i want to and do make dep and it'll just compile what's necessary? still, the argument holds: if i have two machines, compile the kernel for the first, then use the same tree to compile a kernel for the second, adding a module or a feature to the first kernel requires more recompilation than if i hadn't used the tree for the compilation of the second... martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- "it usually takes more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech. -- mark twain
