RE: [MLUG] 2.4.0 kernel install

["Gavin Cooper" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Yup. I don't know if thats the original purpose of &&, but 
its cool anyway. I usually string 6 or 7 commands 
together on one line with && cause I've been too lazy to 
make a little script that does what I do every time I 
compile a kernel, but generally its something like (after 
I've patched the source)

make oldconfig && make dep && make bzImage -j 4 && 
make modules -j 4 && make modules_install && cp 
arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/lilo/vmlinuz-2.4.1 && lilo && 
reboot

I usually only add reboot if I feel like living dangerously. 
After all, lilo must have been successful, but it may have 
done something wrong anyway. And this assumes I've 
pico'ed /etc/lilo.conf beforehand.
