Hi,

I have a question about the make process concerning custom kernels.  
All the documentation I've read outlines the steps:

# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
# /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
# cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL
# make clean
# make depend
# make
# make install

In my case, my directories /usr/src and /usr/obj are exported via
NFS from another machine.  So I typically do:

# /usr/src
# make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
# make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL

My question, am I missing the make depend?  Is it happening
"under the covers"?   I've been doing this on a bunch of machines
for several months now and everything *seems* to work.

Thanks for your patience and help.
