Usually on the same kernel version. An idea forced its way into my preoccupied mind. Why not build all the modules whether I need them or not? Then if I need a module in the future it is waiting under /lib/modules. So I am asking if a: make all_modules directive exists or should be added. Anyone with the disk space might find this convenient. Then you could make all_modules & make modules_install before building your kernel. If such exists it should be mentioned in the README. Thank you for the good software, rob Live the dream. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
