Why not "make mrproper" and start again. (Maybe save .config first.) Are you running out of space during the compilation? Basically, all you need to do is "make xconfig" (or "make menuconfig"), "make", "make modules_install" and "make install" (the last two as root). -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
