OK, so I recompiled the the kernel, to change IRQ probe for a ethernet
card, now if I want to make another change, should'nt I be able to 
do this;

cd /sys/compile/GENERICAH
make
 
Compiled a few things and went to link stage in minutes. 
I did that and got a wierd kernel that spawned TWO versions of init.
and was otherwise useless.  So I did this instead;

cd /sys/i386/conf
config GENERICAH <--the config file I am using
cd /sys/compile/GENERICAH
make depend
make

And it works.. but is SO SLLLOOOWWWWW because now it is recompiling everything.

Am I missing something?
