make dep is obsolete in 2.6

When reconfiguring a 2.4 kernel it is adviced to do a: cp .config .. make mrproper cp ../.config . make oldconfig make dep etc.
For 2.6 you can just run make, without cleaning up before. To get a resonable small configuration you can start out with "make allnoconfig", which compiles ok in 2.6 for now.
