Then I decide that I want, for example change an IRQ for a networking card, or add a flag for a hard-disk controller. The question is -- should I still do the "configure" and "make depend" steps or can I go straight to "make", provided no options and/or devices have been added? This is important for me b/c it takes 4 hours overall to compile a kernel on my 486, so if I can save 30 min for skipping "make depend", that would make me a bit happier.
