You should install ccache :) > So, there must be some differences, right?

Please enlighten me... If you look at the build-dependency tree for kernel-image-2.4.22, you'll see it's actually built from kernel-source-2.4.22, anyway. The only obvious difference I can think of is gcc versions. It shouldn't matter, but maybe it's built with gcc 2.95 still? -- Rob Weir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Do I look like I want a CC?
