Hmm. 'make install' does a lot more than just installing modules, does it not? Besides, aren't modules installed as part of installkernel? (I always thought they were, but I guess I do not really know for sure, and I do not feel like checking into it right now). Make install is more like installworld combined with installkernel, since it will do: for entry in share/info include lib libexec bin \ games gnu kerberos5 rescue sbin secure share sys \ usr.bin usr.sbin etc; do [...] make install DIRPRFX=$edir/; done I personally don't really care what targets you add, so do not take my comments too seriously. I am just trying to think up some questions to make sure the right steps are being proposed. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
