Hi,
Thanks for your response about the system.map file!
I'm kind of curious about make clean coming before
make dep. modules.doc has make dep listed before make
clean, and the kernel HOWTO, section 4.1, seems to
have them in the same order as modules.doc, but if
there are times that clean should come before dep, I'd
be happy to know about them.
Thanks again for your help!
David
