Hi Kirk and listers: A couple of questions. I'm trying to compile new kernels for new Slackware boot disks for Speakup. Do I need to do a "make mrproper" each time I do a new one, or can I skip this step--I don't care if I have stale .o files laying around--as long as the make process only uses what I need. Second, I always have to do a "make bzImage" since the zImage is too large. Can I just skip the zImage step? Thanks!
