I don't see how using a package user helps with multiple kernel versions, but it's your system, so your rules, and use whatever works for you. I will make two recommendations - build as a normal user (I build kernels as myself, in my home directory), and make sure you add some sort of distinguishing identifier, e.g. on the end of EXTRAVERSION, so that modules from one build don't overwrite modules from an earlier build of the same kernel version with a different config. ĸen -- After tragedy, and farce, "OMG poneys!" -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
