RE: modular kernel

["Burke, Jason" <JBurke@lrs.com>]

If you don't want to copy the object files by hand you do.
In my case (where I want modules and kernels for two 
different images of the same kernel version), I've just been
copying the module objects that are different into my
/lib/modules/2.2.12/<whatever> directories. That way I
don't have to worry about maintaining two sets of modules
(in reality though I only have 1 module that is different 
among the two kernels I have, so it's been easy to 
manage. If there were more I would probably try to do
something more manageable).
