How do I rebuild the kernel ? I like to make it lighter than the original release. Could someone let me know the procedure or direct me any docs. 2. How do I su root under normal user accout ? I created user accout using '/stand/adduser.sh -i' and assigned group 'users' to user, which adds one more group in /etc/group as: users:*:1000 When I try 'su root', I get the following message: 'you are not in the correct group to su root.' I did not install secrdist. Is this the cause of problem ? What is the correct group to do this ? Thanks in advance.
