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
root@Darkstar:/usr/src/linux# make gconfig

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.
