- The permissions and ownerships of the source files in this image came
- out mangled when I unpacked the file. One symptom was that nothing
- could compile, because they couldn't read linux/types.h (yes, I had
- the symlinks fixed).
-
- To avoid this problem, here is what to do when you untar the image:
-
- 1. Untar the image as root. Use the 'o' option to tar:
-
- cd /usr/src
- tar xzvof linux-0.99.2.tar.Z)
-
- 2. Then run the following commands to fix the file permissions:
-
- find /usr/src/linux -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
- find /usr/src/linux -type f -exec chmod go+r {} \;
- sync
-
- That should do it.
