LinuxQuestions.org - bash didn't recognize command "menuconfig"

I read the contents of the kconfig file in media:/sda2/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.22-1-mepis-smp/drivers/ata, and since it started with "SATA/PATA driver configuration," I am trying to follow the instructions in it.
Code:

        ---help---

          If you want to use a ATA hard disk, ATA tape drive, ATA CD-ROM or

          any other ATA device under Linux, say Y and make sure that you know

          the name of your ATA host adapter (the card inside your computer

          that "speaks" the ATA protocol, also called ATA controller),

          because you will be asked for it.



          NOTE: ATA enables basic SCSI support; *however*,

          'SCSI disk support', 'SCSI tape support', or

          'SCSI CDROM support' may also be needed,

          depending on your hardware configuration.
