I'm NOT an expert (been using linux at work for less than 1 year,
and at home for 3-4 months) but, AFAIK, you only need to issue "make"
commands for kernel compilation if you are planning a custom-compiled
kernel, or (maybe) there are special drivers that you need to have
compiled.
I'm sure if I'm wrong Axalon, (or someone) will step up and correct
me. :-)
