If you actually want to compile the kernel, go to /usr/src/kernels/2.6.21-1.3228.fc7-i686 or whatever, and say "make xconfig" ... But you don't normally need to re-compile the kernel in order to compile a module. I compiled a distribution kernel yesterday (for fun) and it took hours because there were hundreds if not thousands of modules. [I didn't run "make xconfig" but used the .config with the source.] -- 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
