Angry Configure Kernel in Mepis - Possible or Myth?


Hi All,

I love Mepis, I'm trying to configure the kernel and keep hitting a brick wall.
It seems that all you have to do is:
- download the kernel source from www.kernel.org
- put it into /usr/src
- make a symbolic link
run make xconfig
... this is where the fun starts ... has ANYBODY out there ever seen the cute gui Interface whose screenshot is shown on the kernel home page ? All I ever see is errors regarding qt ... the interesting thing is that I have the development package installed and have even made a few small projects with it.
So can anyone make this work?

have a look at these links -- your procedure is oversimplified ;-)
