OK.  Got there and ran the "make-kpkg" command.

A couple of complaints flashed by along with tons of other text, then after
defaulting to "Y" CONFIG_MODULES and CONFIG_MODVERSIONS:
"Kernel module loader (CONFIG_KMOD) [N/y/?] (NEW)"

If I choose "Y" does this require me to load specific modules for
everything or does it merely make such more automated?  I did a
search on the Internet but what I need to know is unclear ... sure wish
Linux would document such options alongside the request for a choice!

The default is "N".

Thanks!  Doc
