I read sometimes ago in this list that i can compile my custom-kernel being an ordinary user and not using root account (before installing it); well, when i try run "make *config" in /usr/src/linux directory, i receive this error message:
bash-2.03$ make xconfig rm -f include/asm rm: impossibile scollegare `include/asm': Permesso negato make: *** [symlinks] Error 1 (translation of line n°3: rm: impossible to unlink `include/asm': Permission Denied) and all is stopped. User paolo hasn't (obviously) permissions of writing /usr directory and i think the right thing to do is to untar kernel-source in my /home-dir and compile there: may i have troubles installig (as root with make-kpkg) from there, or it's the ordinary manner in compiling kernel as user? Answers, other tips (and money donations ;))) will be appreciated... Tnks paolo massei
