can't make dep

[Richard Spencer]

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who's responded to my questions regarding not being able to 'make config'. This debacle has struck a blow to my confidence, and I still feel like an idiot!

After doing a make config in the proper directory -- /usr/src/linux -- I went through the entire config routine, and then was not able to make dep, make clean, and make zImage. If anyone has any idea what went wrong, I'm all ears. I've listed the commands and subsequent responses below.

Thanks in advance!
