Very helpful, thank you, your remarks inspired me to before/after-diff
the results of:

time sudo find / -path $HOME -prune -o -path /proc -prune -o -path /tmp -o -print

Here that query completes consistently in less than five minutes, also
repeating it may complete within a small fraction of a minute.

Thus for my latest try at a udf-friendly module-free config of
linux-2.5.43/ in /etc/redhat-release 9 I'm delighted to see `sudo make
modules_install install` here creates at least precisely what you kindly
taught me to expect:

/boot/vmlinuz-2.5.43
/boot/System.map-2.5.43
/boot/initrd-2.5.43.img

/lib/modules/2.5.43
/lib/modules/2.5.43/kernel
/lib/modules/2.5.43/kernel/drivers
/lib/modules/2.5.43/kernel/drivers/net
/lib/modules/2.5.43/kernel/drivers/net/dummy.o
/lib/modules/2.5.43/build
/lib/modules/2.5.43/modules.dep
/lib/modules/2.5.43/modules.generic_string
/lib/modules/2.5.43/modules.pcimap
/lib/modules/2.5.43/modules.isapnpmap
/lib/modules/2.5.43/modules.usbmap
/lib/modules/2.5.43/modules.parportmap
/lib/modules/2.5.43/modules.ieee1394map
/lib/modules/2.5.43/modules.pnpbiosmap
