am i missing something? what exactly is the point of this script? if it is just to make it failsafe and fall through if one stage fails, jsut use

./configure && make && make install

much easier

well
let's say
./configure takes 2min
make takes 5min
make install takes 1min

i tend to look at screen for 8min --;
purpose is to save that 8min..

if it's kernel compile
it takes maybe 30min?
well..
=)

oh
i c your point

./configure && make && make install

does the same thing
=)

my bad
i didn't know
--;
hehe
