Subject: [q] make modules_install as non-root?
Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2005 10:23:49 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2cd57c900512011823v153a6763t@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello people,

I wrote my own installkernel so I can do `make install' as non-root
with the help of sudo. But how can we get to do `make modules_install'
as non-root with sudo as well?

The works of modules_install seem scattered over several places.  Is
it a nice idea to factor out an *installmodules* script for `make
modules_install' to invoke?

ps:
Linus recommend us to build as non-root and install as root.
I ask if we should install as non-root too.

Thanks
