Re: running make-kpkg as a normal user

does this mean i have to run it again (this time as root)?  can't this
be by-passed?  below is the error message at the end of the kernel
compilation:

You need to either pass '--rootcmd fakeroot' to make-kpkg or
precede the command like this 'fakeroot make-kpkg <options>'

You should be able to restart and have it pick up where it left
off.  The build process does use make, after all.
