Hey everyone,

A few years back on an older machine I was performing an experiment
that unfortunately was devoured by the big /dev/null in the sky.  This
was due to the untimely demise of the hard drive, processor and
motherboard as the power supply basically blew up.

Anywho, the test was to find out if chapter 6 packages were required
to be built as root as the book details it.  I'm considering trying
this again but I'm not entirely sure if I have the time to deviate
that much from the book without losing sight of my own projects at
hand.  Has anyone tried this?  If so, what degree of success did it
produce?

I tend to avoid building as root all the time.  I mean aside from the
instructions in chapter 6.  I hope to try a rootless chapter 6 build
again but I figured this would be the best place to find out if others
had tried.  I've always figured there must be a reason that root does
all the labor here.
