I think the README file for debian 2.6.6 is a bit lacking.  There is
no mention of 'make dep' as there was in previous releases.

Also, according to the output from 'make help', dep is not listed as
a target, and 'all' does vmlinuz, modules, and bzImage.

I did do make mrproper, but as it was the first build of freshly
installed source, nothing happened.  I think I got 2 lines of output.

I will assume the omission of dep was an oversight and try again.  

Thanks
Jim
