[gentoo-dev] Error in Document...?

[gentoo-dev] Error in Document...?

[Arndt Faulhaber]

Hi there,

I think I might have found a little error in the installation instructions 
to Gentoo 1.4rc1... (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/build.html)

to compile the kernel like
make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install

doesn't that fail, since the dependencies get deleted by make clean...?

I thought it should be like:
make clean && make dep bzImage modules modules_install

I'm not really sure about it, though I thought that I'd rather tell you, 
since booting without a kernel might get tricky ;)

Cheers, Arndt

PS: Otherwise cool work!!! I'm just trying Gentoo for the first time but it 
looks quite nice and this distribution was something I have been looking 
for for ages... ;)

Arndt,

That line does work actually. I wasn't sure it would work either, but it
did. It's now my standard method for building kernels. I guess you *can*
learn stuff from reading docs...who knew?

Only the distclean and mrproper targets delete the dependencies / 
configuration
