You could look at the packages files in the directory linked to by /etc/make.profile and its parents.

Hmm, it doesn't on my two boxen. :-( I do not have a vmlinuz, System.map and config links. Do I have to first set up the symlinks manually? Yep, /boot is always mounted (just to be sure I won't forget it, I always mount it before I even cd into /usr/src/linux). Running make make modules_install does *not* create any links in my /boot directory, ever. Could it be that there's something wrong with my system(s) - at least three installations have always behaved like this . . . No, make makes the bzImage under /usr/src/linux.arch/.boot And make modules_install installes the modules in /lib, I think. Neither of them touches /boot. I THINK there's a make install that's supposed to do some stuff for you, but I prefer to do those steps by hand. I am confused: how many 'make install's are there? Don't they 'all' do the same? Are we talking about a customised (hacked) make install here? There is only one make install. It is the optional command out of the set of commands used to compile and install a kernel: make (which now includes make modules, whereas under 2.4-series kernels you had to run make modules as a separate command) -- compiles the kernel and modules make modules_install -- installs dynamic (loadable) modules to /lib/modules/kernel-version/ and you can then either copy the kernel manually to /boot, or use the make install command to do so. This functionality is not in any way a hack: equery belongs /sbin/installkernel [ Searching for file(s) /sbin/installkernel in *... ] sys-apps/debianutils-2.15 (/sbin/installkernel) Programs That Depend On debianutils app-admin/sysklogd app-portage/gentoolkit app-text/noweb dev-util/bazaar dev-util/larch dev-util/pbuilder dev-util/tla mail-filter/clamassassin sys-apps/apmd sys-boot/arcboot x11-misc/sux x11-wm/fvwm And it's not in my world file, so it was probably installed by gentoolkit or sux, which are the only two RDEPENDS of this list I have installed (other than fvwm, but that's recent and I'm sure that I had the ability to make install long before that). So I suppose it's possible that some users might not have this, unless it's part of system, which I don't know how to check. But any utility ported from Debian certainly can't be considered a hack by any stretch of the imagination Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Install_modules is a target to make. What's confusing? Make is a command. Install or install_modules, or install_docs (for other things) are targets in the Makefile. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
