+checks to ensure it built correctly. However, this particular test suite makes
+some assumptions that aren't quite vaild at this early stage of Chapter 6. We
+therefore make a few adjustments to allow the tests to run properly. Should you
+choose not to run the test suite, skip down to "Install the package". The
+following commands will prepare us for the test suite. Create two dummy groups
+and a dummy user name:</para>
 
-<para><screen><userinput>make check-root
-make RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes check</userinput></screen></para>
+<para><screen><userinput>echo "dummy1:x:1000" >> /etc/group
+echo "dummy2:x:1001:dummy" >> /etc/group
+echo "dummy:x:1000:1000:::/bin/bash" >> /etc/passwd</userinput></screen></para>

+<para>Fix a small permissions problem:</para>
+
+<para><screen><userinput>chown dummy tests/cut</userinput></screen></para>
+
+<para>The <userinput>su</userinput> program from Coreutils wasn't installed in
+Chapter 5 because it needed <emphasis>root</emphasis> privilege to install. We
+work around this problem by installing it now:</para>
