That makes sense, but it's still quite a surprise, and a serious change in behavior from as long as I've been compiling kernels. How about a new "make install-norebuild" or something that doesn't change current, relied-upon behavior? Seems like the weirdos^Wusers doing kernel fetches over nfs are probably the minority, and their small numbers can be much more easily educated than the masses who expect 'make menuconfig; make install' to do what it's always done. If that's too invasive, how about restoring the old behavior with a warning to stderr for a release or two? -- Dave - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
