What does make install do? I've always just done:
make mrproper
make clean
make xconfig
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
then copy over the bzImage /boot and do all that good lilo and System.map
ln -s stuff.
What am I missing? I've always wondered about the module_info file and
how it never gets updated.
