kernel compile procedure I am wanting to learn how to compile a kernel. and perhaps tweak the kernel for my athlon cpu. just to say that I've done it and learn. As I have not found a precise document on how to reconfigure the kernel, I am using previous posters info, this website [http://www.lesbell.com.au/Home.nsf/0/a81f3ecb7cf5028eca256cf2003035ca?OpenDocument] (thanks to poster Stefan Berg) and the README in the tarball, and piece together the instructions. - what I've done so far- from [http://www.kernel.org/] "The latest stable version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.7 2004-06-16 06:02 UTC F" linux-2.6.7.tar.bz download to /home/kate/kernel (from lesbell website, see above) cd /usr/src mkdir linux-2.6.7 rm linux ln -s linux-2.6.7 linux bzcat /home/kate/kernel/linux-2.6.7.tar.bz2 | tar xvf - .. linux-2.6.7/kernel/power/poweroff.c linux-2.6.7/kernel/power/pmdisk.c .. - OK this far cd linux make mrproper make dep -OK this far - What directory should I be in here for make menuconfig? make menuconfig -but the output is this- HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep

So, what am I doing wrong? I do have "Development Tools" and "Kernel Development" as per Package Manager. Am I in the wrong dir for the make menuconfig? tia kate __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo! Mail - 100MB free storage! http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail
