Subjectinstall_modules (or) modules_install? (main README in 2.6.0 stable source)
Date
Hi,

Regarding:

Top level README in kernel 2.6.0 stable source

(downloaded from kernel.org on 10-18-2003)


In the last of the following five lines, 'install_modules' seem to me to be
incorrect:

To configure and build the kernel use:
cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.N
make O=/home/name/build/kernel menuconfig
make O=/home/name/build/kernel
sudo make O=/home/name/build/kernel install_modules install
____________________________________^

Am I correct that
install_modules
should be
module_install
?

I tried both and the latter seems to work but the former not.

Furthermore, I find the latter in two other parts of the README:

make a backup of your modules directory before you
do a "make modules_install".
____________________^

and:

- If you configured any of the parts of the kernel as `modules', you
will have to do "make modules" followed by "make modules_install".
______________________________________________^

Others like me will stumble on this. Who could update the README to correct
this?

No person is mentioned as author or maintainer of the README.

Who should I send this feedback to?

Thanks,

Roger :-)
