RTFM... :-) You need to generate a .config file using one of the available configuration mechanisms. 'make menuconfig' will provide a dialog based menu for configuring the kernel. 'make xconfig' (I think) will bring up an X-Window GUI for cnfiguring the kernel, etc. Once that is done, you should 'make deps' before 'make bzImage', IIRC. --[Lance] -- Celebrate The Circle: http://www.celebratethecircle.org/ Carolina Spirit Quest: http://www.carolinaspiritquest.org/ My LiveJournal: http://www.livejournal.com/users/labrown/ GPG Fingerprint: 409B A409 A38D 92BF 15D9 6EEE 9A82 F2AC 69AC 07B9 -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
