make is needed to compile the support binaries. The README was written in preparation for being installed as the fedora package, and is already used for that purpose at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551411 > "make install" should really use /usr/local or DESTDIR. It already supports DESTDIR but olpc-os-builder itself doesnt support being run in installed mode in anything other than /usr (this could be fixed, but its probably not worth it. lets just focus on the Fedora efforts...)
