Scrub and his Kernel


Well Im trying to install a new kernel and im trying to follow the shilo.is-a-geek guild, BUT I have two problems, one is the Gnome doesnt work too well(Im probably going to download a newer version after I get this Kernel up and running), and the second problem is, when I get to the part where is says Make gconfig it says
su: make: command not found
So I dont know what to do. The kernel Im trying to install is 2.6.15

Looks like you don't have the GCC (GNU C Compiler) and related packages installed. You can find them on CD#1 series d.

I'm not sure exactly which one's you'll need for a kernel compile, but I think you'll need at least:

autoconf-2.59-noarch-1
automake-1.9.5-noarch-1
gcc-3.3.6-i486-1
glibc-2.3.5-i486-5
glibc-profile-2.3.5-i486-5
glibc-solibs-2.3.5-i486-5
glibc-zoneinfo-2.3.5-noarch-5

Someone else with a little more knowledge about what exactly is needed can probably help a little more.

I would suggest that you use the make menuconfig command to configure the kernel. I find this the easiest way to configure and X is not required at all. It can be run from a terminal window in Gnome or KDE or from a text console.
