root or non-root for make-kpkg?

[Tim <gob@subdimension.com>]

Hi,

I installed a new kernel as per:

http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html.en

as non-root.  make-kpkg failed, with this error:

need root priviledges
make: *** [kernel-image-deb] Error 1

Is there a simple solution to this?  I proceeded as root without further 
problems.

Thanks.  Tim
