as root:
cd /usr/src
chown -R paolo:paolo linux
you need to substitute your primary group (second word if you do id
paolo) for the second paolo
this wil make the kernel source owned by paolo, so he will get
write-access.
note: if you use kernel-package, you need to use fakeroot to build the
package.
