thx. but btw, what is with the "su -c"?
I normally log in as root anyway when want to compile and install a kernel.
What does the "su -c" actually do when used in a command?
I used su before, but to change user and not inside a command?
Maybe this question belonged in the "newbie" list... :)

Thx again.

Best regards,
Adrian
