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.
