Of course, but I wasn't going to remove them now just to demonstrate the concept. Also, the problem is that some 3rd-party SRPM providers *cough*NVidia*cough* have munged their SRPMS that they only work as root now. AFAICR, the 4191 Makefile tries to insmod nvidia, otherwise dies saying that you compiled with the wrong compiler ... This was the reason I was maintaining better NVidia SRPMs, but I haven't had time to look at more recent releases ...
