[bed61bb] | 4 | <para>We won't be compiling a new kernel yet -- we'll do that when we have
|
---|
| 5 | finished the installation of all the packages. But as some packages need the
|
---|
| 6 | kernel header files, we're going to unpack the kernel archive now, set it up,
|
---|
| 7 | and copy the header files to where they will be found by these packages.</para>

|

[14d5c7f1] | 9 | <para>It is important to note that the files in the kernel source directory
|
---|
| 10 | are not owned by root. Whenever you unpack a package as user root (like we
|
---|
| 11 | do here inside chroot), the files end up having the user and group ID's of
|
---|
| 12 | whatever they were on the packager's computer. This is usually not a
|
---|
| 13 | problem for any other package you install because you remove the source
|
---|
| 14 | tree after the installation. But the Linux kernel source tree is often kept
|
---|
| 15 | around for a long time, so there's a chance whatever userid was used will
|
---|
| 16 | be assigned to somebody on your machine, and that person would get write
|
---|
| 17 | access to the kernel source.</para>

|
---|
| 19 | <para>In light of this, you might want to run <userinput>chown
|
---|
| 20 | 0.0</userinput> on the linux-&kernel-version; directory to ensure all files
|
---|
| 21 | are owned by user <emphasis>root</emphasis>.</para>
