No.. its not the same as what I'm talking about. When you set the |
| 11 |
item in menuconfig: |
| 12 |
General Setup/Local Version [...] |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
The string you set there is appended to that actual build product |
| 15 |
like vmlinuz-2.6.26-gentoo-$HOST |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
The vmlinuz that gets sent to /boot/ when you say `make install' is |
| 18 |
named that way, along with the config-XXX and System-XXX that is moved |
| 19 |
there. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Keeps things kind of tidy in /boot/ if you are mucking around with |
| 22 |
several kernels. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
What I asked was if there is some tricky syntax I could use on that |
| 25 |
kernel setting that would do: linux-2.6.26-gentoo-$HOST-N |
| 26 |
Where N is an incremented number every time I build the kernel without |
| 27 |
running `mrproper'. |
