Yes, I work how root.
Now I try:
cd /usr/src/linux
make oldconfig
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install & I have problems:
depmod: Can't open /lib/modules/extra/modules.dep for writing
>  > make[2]: *** [_modinst_post] Error 255
Ok. I look in /lib/modules. I see that was created 2.4.20 directory.
And in this 2.4.20 I cannot see modules.dep.
I create extra directory in /lib/modules & again run modules_install & this run correctly.
I see modules.dep in /lib/modules/extra/

Please correct me if I'm wrong about this.

PS: this happens on comp where I install knoppix on hard.

Thanx.
