I installed Red Hat 5.2 a few days ago, and I know that I need to
re-compile my kernel with PPP and sound support.  Apparently Red Hat
comes with the kernel source.  I changed to /usr/src/linux/ (where the
source is supposed to be) and typed "make config"  All I got was an
error message:
make:*** No rule to make target 'config'. Stop.
I have read the KERNEL and PPP HOWTOs, MAN MAKE, and even Josh's Linux
Guide ( http://www.local.net/~jgo/LinuxGuide/index.html ).  Am I even on
the right track?  Is there a step by step guide to this for newbies ?
