$ uname -a

Time to build the "kitchen sink" kernel:

$ tail -3 linux-6.11.5/nohup.out 
real 378.37
user 17905.09
sys 3620.61

$ tail -3 linux-6.11.5.copy.out 
real 534.73
user 13.60
sys 131.70

The second time is how long it takes to copy the built source
tree from ramdisk to the NAS.

For configuring the kernel, I copy over the .config from the
previous kernel, then "make oldconfig".  This time, it didn't
ask me to configure any new variables.

Sometimes I tweak things in the config with "make menuconfig";
but recently I got "make xconfig" working, which requires qt
development libraries.  The interface is much easier to use.

(If there's interest, I can post my .config file -- it was originally
a "low-latency" config that came from a Mint build, and I've
been updating it with "make oldconfig" and tweaks since then.)
