Cory,
Thanks for the reply. Yea, sorry I wasn't very
precise. This is the error statement that I got:
make: ***No rule to make target 'xconfig'. Stop.
FYI, the files in my linux (/usr/src/linux-2.4.8)
folder are:
kernel.config_new
kernel.config_old
.config.old
.depend
.hdepend
And three folders:
arch/ (nothing within this folder)
include/
(with these files:
include/linux/modules/nls_utf8.stamp
include/linux/modules/nls_utf8.ver )
scripts/
(this folder has the following files:
kconfig.tk*
tkparse*
tkcond.o
tkgen.o
tkparse.o )
When I built this PC, I did a standard install of
Mdk8.1. I was trying to learn how to compile the
kernel a few months ago, and although I don't remember
what I did precisely, I screwed things up quite a bit.
I re-installed Mandrake and since then things have
worked fine, with a few exceptions.
