Run uname -r it should give to the full kernel version. Than go to kernel.org and download the kernel source tar that match that version and than decompress it in /usr/src/2.6.7 (remove the /usr/src/2.6.7 that there now first)...
Actually what I did was find the kernel-2.6.7 package on my slackware installation CD, and I used installpkg to run that. It apparently worked, because now it stopped giving me that error. Now, configuration was successful. Im ready to move on.
Sorry, that was a typo. This installation is taking place on my laptop, and Im doing all of my communicating and research on a nearby desktop. I have to type in all error codes manually, so that was just my error. There was a "/"
Well, I did some research and someone said that you can just mkdir the file that it complained about. I tried that, and "make all" worked. Now Im going to try make install.
EDIT: Make install was successful. Im ready to move on.
look something like this (you are useing dhcp not static IPs right?)

# Note: the "network address" here is NOT the same as the IP address.
