kernel 2.2.18 help please

[Gregory Nowak]

Hi,

When I install a new kernel and do make modules and make modules_install and
make dep, then does the process generate a brand new rc.modules file, or
does it keep the old one? If it keeps the old one, then can I wipe it and
cause the system to create one from scratch? Thanks
Greg
