reduce the compile time enormously, especially if you are running an
universal kernel from a commodity Linux distribution.
There is a catch: the make target 'localmodconfig' will disable kernel
features you have not directly or indirectly through some program utilized
since you booted the system. You can reduce or nearly eliminate that risk by
using tricks outlined in the reference section; for quick testing purposes
that risk is often negligible, but it is an aspect you want to keep in mind
in case your kernel behaves oddly.
There is a catch: 'localmodconfig' is likely to disable kernel features you
did not use since you booted your Linux -- like drivers for currently
disconnected peripherals or a virtualization software not haven't used yet.
You can reduce or nearly eliminate that risk with tricks the reference
section outlines; but when building a kernel just for quick testing purposes
it is often negligible if such features are missing. But you should keep that
aspect in mind when using a kernel built with this make target, as it might
be the reason why something you only use occasionally stopped working.

If you are running a immutable Linux distribution, check its documentation
and the web to find out how to install your own kernel there.
