Greetings I am a little stuck and not sure where to from here. I have followed the instruction in the Release notes and was doing fine until I hit this section. could some please give me a bit of guidance. Step 3 3. Change directory to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/, and issue the following command: rpmbuild -bp --target=<arch> kernel.spec (Where <arch> is the desired target architecture.) On a default RPM configuration, the kernel tree will be located in /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/. Here I am fine but the it says this in step 4 4. In resulting tree, the configurations for the specific kernels shipped in Fedora Core 3 are in the /configs/ directory. For example, the i686 SMP configuration file is named /configs/kernel-<version>-i686-smp.config. Issue the following command to place the desired configuration file in the proper place for building: cp <desired-file> ./.config What has me stuck is I don't have a ./.config directory, or I don't know where it is. and second <desired file> : what is my desired file? is it the new directory located in /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/ or something else. tx -- Chadley Wilson Redhat Certified Technician Cert Number: 603004708291270 Pinnacle Micro Manufacturers of Proline Computers ==================================== Exercise freedom, Use LINUX =====================================
