No. It merely runs your current .config through the configuration scripts and prompts for any options that don't exist in your current .config file. It's useful when updating kernel sources to catch new options added. If you've just run make config though, it'll be useless since it won't do anything at all. > It is convenient to "make dep" every time you change the kernel > configuration. Unnecessary - a make dep stage is required every time you patch the kernel or change the include structure, but if you've just changed the kernel configuration, the dependency information copes - it will even rebuild all the files affected by the change in config options. _______________________________________________ http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm Please visit the above address for information on this list.
