(starting from Section 5 - Kbuild clean infrastructure) "make clean" deletes most generated files in the obj tree where the kernel is compiled. This includes generated files such as host programs." - not true. i believe you need to at least "make mrproper" to get rid of the generated files in the scripts/ directory. (in fact, there appears to be no mention of "make mrproper" anywhere in this doc file.) "Note 2: All directories listed in core-y, libs-y, drivers-y and net-y will be visited during "make clean". - i think that should include "init-y" as well, no? and that should do it. now i have to get back to work that actually generates revenue. :-) rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
