Without trying to argue the toss, 'make modules_install' does wipe out all previous build modules (only for the version you are compiling!). This is proved by the fact you need to re-emerge alsa-driver/nvidia-kernel/ pcmcia-cs/... each time you recompile your kernel. If you're paranoid, unlike me (who's that hiding under the desk! In the corner, I can see you!), delete away :) - -- Mike Williams -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/isoFInuLMrk7bIwRAvktAJ4zZz22rPkusGZmbYDpzRruSJxMzgCeMPFL 2gurMaP3waRJtLOVNIKZGzc= =X7pr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
