Trying to recompile my kernel but when i type 'make xconfig or make menuconfig' i get an error message 'no rule to make xconfig'. I am logged in as root and I cd into /usr/src/linux/.
I aslo tried apt-get install tk8.2 make gcc bin86 libc6-dev kernel-package* Get an messgae saying package not available no installation candidate.

Need help fast, don't know what's wrong, why am i getting this message

please read /usr/src/linux/CHANGE to get some information.

It is possible to install ncurse package so as to run "make menuconfig"

Try to apt libncurses5-dev I had a list somewhere with all the packages needed to upgrade the kernel from a base-install. If you need more I'll search it up
