Actually I am having a similar problem. I downloaded the latest kernel from ftp.kernel and I un tar/gz'ed it and I printed the instructions and followed them.. I got to the compile Kernel... where is the kernel at? Do I use cc kernel... I can't find the instructions on compiling... I'm very new to this... but where do I look... I tried the command below and got about four lines all of which have errors on them? Any help is appreciated.
