If I don't create an rpm, I run: CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) make sudo INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 make modules_install sudo cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-$(make kernelversion) sudo cp System.map /boot/System.map-$(make kernelversion) sudo cp .config /boot/config-$(make kernelversion) You don't need to run "make" as root. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
