Very helpful, thank you, your remarks inspired me to before/after-diff the results of: time sudo find / -path $HOME -prune -o -path /proc -prune -o -path /tmp -o -print Here that query completes consistently in less than five minutes, also repeating it may complete within a small fraction of a minute. Thus for my latest try at a udf-friendly module-free config of linux-2.5.43/ in /etc/redhat-release 9 I'm delighted to see `sudo make modules_install install` here creates at least precisely what you kindly taught me to expect: /boot/vmlinuz-2.5.43 /boot/System.map-2.5.43 /boot/initrd-2.5.43.img /lib/modules/2.5.43 /lib/modules/2.5.43/kernel /lib/modules/2.5.43/kernel/drivers /lib/modules/2.5.43/kernel/drivers/net /lib/modules/2.5.43/kernel/drivers/net/dummy.o /lib/modules/2.5.43/build /lib/modules/2.5.43/modules.dep /lib/modules/2.5.43/modules.generic_string /lib/modules/2.5.43/modules.pcimap /lib/modules/2.5.43/modules.isapnpmap /lib/modules/2.5.43/modules.usbmap /lib/modules/2.5.43/modules.parportmap /lib/modules/2.5.43/modules.ieee1394map /lib/modules/2.5.43/modules.pnpbiosmap Pat LaVarre -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
