Well, I learned something new then. Thank you.

OK, I can see that I totally about different make targets and just read 
that as being half a step - reading it as really being 'make 
buildkernel'. However, the 'make buildkernal' 'install kernel' steps 
are more explicit and I prefer that. Possibly I looked on it as similar 
to 'make world'. Maybe that's why I never said anything about it in the 
past. 

Thank you again.
