Subject: 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,
Alexy
