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.

Thanks
