How can this be achieved?

After configuring a new 2.4 series kernel, all dependencies, such as included files, need to be
created. How can this be achieved?

A.
make dependencies

B.
make clean

C.
make mrproper

D.
make dep

E.
make test

Explanation:
/usr/src/linux# make clean
If you’ve already built the system and are making minor changes, not wanting to re-compile all the
objects again, skip this step. If you want to be a purist and make sure you’re starting absolutely
fresh, do this step./usr/src/linux# make mrproper
This completely cleans out your binary directories. I only do this if I’ve really screwed something up.
Note that this deletes your .config file, so you might want to rename it first! I hardly ever do this.
/usr/src/linux# make dep This determines all the header file dependencies. Do this whenever you’ve
made a change to the configuation.
