Re: compiling kernel

[Josh <jholland3@uswest.net>]

Cool, I'll try this.  Is there a reason for not doing the whole thing as
root?
When I compiled the first time, I could not do the'make mrproper' except as
root (some weird stuff happened, but I don't remember exactly what).  But I
haven't checked the path as normal user (I don't know why else 'make'
wouldn't work).
