I applied the "ide.2.2.13.19991111.patch" patch file to the kernel. I then typed "make mrproper" then "make xconfig" and then "make dep" When I typed "make dep" I received the error message: <snip> ../../.config: no such file or directory ***no rule to make target ../../.config stop [_sfdep_fc4] error 2 [fastdep] error 2 [sfdep_drivers] error 2 [dep_files] error 2 What do I do to get rid of these error messages so I can recompile my kernel? What do these error messages mean? If anyone could even point me to a webpage that has help on these error messages, I'll take that too. thanks all, Matt >From: Axalon Bloodstone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: [newbie] Problems patching the kernel... >Date: Sat, 20 Nov 1999 15:09:23 -0700 (MST) > >On Sat, 20 Nov 1999, M Thompson wrote: > > > I'm trying to patch my kernel with a patch file.
