Huh. My understanding is that putting that line in kernel-pkg.conf has the exact same effect as specifying --rootcmd=fakeroot, so it probably Just Worked. You didn't happen to actually *be* root while doing the kernel build, did you? Actually being root obviates the need for fakeroot, but is otherwise considered a poor idea. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
