Hi all,

I have 2.2.17 installed on my SuSE 6.4 laptop ...I want to recompile the kernel with a few modifications ....... should i run *make clean* before i run make menuconfig ? What are the pros and cons of doing so ?

The normal thing to do before make menuconfig is to do a make mrproper. This returns the source code to it's virgin state, ready for a completely new configuration. Make clean is normally run after you "make dep", before the make bzImage.
