Andrej, Why doesn't Mandrake ship "clean" kernel source? By clean, I mean running "make mrproper" before building the src.rpm. This would avoid the user's having to run the unexpected command, i.e. the "make mrproper". In turn, that would reduce the number of queries to the MandrakeCooker and MandrakeExper mailing lists. Also, the kernel build process changes all the .depend files in the kernel tree. This is seen by msec, which generates error messages for each of the .depend files because they no longer match what was in kernel-source.src.rpm. Using "make mrproper" before building the src.rpm would remove a significant number of messages. David
