I've installed RedHat5.0.  I need to get Linux to recognize me net card.  From
what I've read, the best way to do this is to recompile the kernel.  Also from
what I've read, this would involve a <make config>.  Make isn't currently
installed.  I did a <rmp -i make*> from my RedHat Source CD.  I then attempted
a rpm -bc of the "specfile", but it ended with the following:
  "Checking for gcc... no"
  "Checking for cc... no"
  "Configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH"
  "Bad exit status"
I then did a find for both cc and gcc, but neither is found.  I'm assuming I
don't have a compiler installed?

What steps do I need to take in order to:
  1.  Install a compiler
  2.  Install make
  3.  Recompile the kernel
  4.  Install my NE2000 compatible net card

Thanks for any help!
