Assuming that you have the kernel sources (usually under /usr/src/linux):

cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig

Your error sounds like you're either in the wrong directory (no makefile)
or you don't have the kernel sources.  If the latter is the case, grab
the sources from somewhere (ftp.kernel.org,ftp.cs.helsinki.fi,...).

Hope that helps,
