Wow that's garbled. I think you will find that in my original email I had

 make modules
 INSTALL_MOD_PATH=`pwd`/modules make modules_install

That's all on one line, not split over 2, but you may be right about
needing the export. It's a couple of months since I did this.

It copies the various modules into a tree structure under .../linux24/modules
You can then copy them where you want. The default make modules_install
installs the modules (or tries!) in /lib  on the dev. machine - which is
not what you want.

However not being root helps here!
