More newbie questions from an end-user:

1) Https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild instructions after making the kernel: "Now install the .deb files. In this example, the files are linux-image-2.6.24-rc5-custom_2.6.24-rc5-custom-10.00.Custom_i386.deb and linux-headers-2.6.24-rc5-custom_2.6.24-rc5-custom-10.00.Custom_i386.deb. You may receive warnings about '/lib/firmware/2.6.24-rc5-custom/' - this is expected and will only be problematic if the driver you are trying to test requires firmware."

That is, it only specifies installation of linux-image*.deb and linux-headers*.deb. My build also produced a linux-firmware-image*.deb and linux-libc-dev*.deb. Can I/should I leave those uninstalled here?

2) Https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection instructions after installing and testing the first new kernel: "Repeat the process: build, install, test, and report back test results with git bisect good or bad."

But it seems to me that I would not repeat the entire process from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild. Do I start again with "make clean" in the linux folder?
