It does, but it does that on your command. Try 'cd /usr/src/linux && make help'. Hopefully, it'll shed some light on this dark matter: install just launches some (your) script. I've created one in /root/bin, so it'll cp && symlink bzImage, instead of making two copies, you'd probably want to put just 'cp && mv && ln' in there. Can't see much point in doing it by hand every time, really. -- Mike Kazantsev // fraggod.net
