RE: NEWBIE: modules compiling
Hi,
to do it not the debian way:
make menuconfig
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
If you have only selected new modules, you possibly can leave out 'make
bzImage', but with some kind modules, you need a little kernel support, so
it is safe to recompile everything, unless you are hacking a buggy part of
the kernel.
Greetz,
