Может ли юзер сделать chroot ?

First time you will need to setup your compile area. This can be anywhere (eg. /home//compile), but please do it as a non-root user.

initiate and clean out the kernel build environment, not forgetting to backup the kernel config file first. We have to enter the chrooted compile environment for this.

$ ./RUNME
$ cd source/kernel-2.6.16.5/linux-2.6.16.5
$ cp .config ../.config.orig
$ make mrproper
$ make distclean

cannot change root directory to .: Operation not permitted
