kbuild 2.5 is ready for inclusion in the 2.5 kernel - take 3
Someone said here on the list a few months ago that "make bzlilo" was replaced by "make install" and that it was necessary to configure the "install" option's behavior.

Wayne, the only change (other then better, faster functions) is the elimination of steps.
if it will satisfy you you can continue to do a make mproper and make dep and just ignore the 'no target found' messages.

Actually, the "install behavior" is quite nice. I wrote a script that installs the kernel and sets it up in the right way for my non-kbuild-2.5 kernel... much of this script is doing stuff like getting the current kernel version, etc... the new kbuild allows you to specify the install script you want to use and exports a bunch of variables that make this script easier to write. Moreover, I believe there is a default install that mimicks that of the current kernel so that the changing of install's behavior is not mandatory.
