Re: installing only the newly (re)built modules

Well, fast -- it depends! :) My Crusoe tablet, Compaq TC1000, can
use any break it gets... And generally, the beauty of a make system
is not to do any extra moves. Since it already knows what to build,
why not let it install just that?

Cheers,

Out of curiosity, why? I've noticed this, but the copy runs so fast I
never really thought about it as an issue.
