Last nite i did my first kernel compilation and i am thinking that i might have been too tired for doing this at 6A (yes stayed up all nite). I might have said yes to a few things and no to a few things that i shouldnt have and want to reconfigure the kernel. The only problem is i am not sitting through another 1.5 hrs of Y/N questions on which 75% i am not sure of while not having any sleep for about 25 hrs. I would rather install RH 2 or 3 before going through that again. I have RH 7.1 and want to update to 2.4.7. I have the most basic install (the only thing i selected during isntall was kernel development and development so i can compile and redo the kernel of course). Qustions: 1-does "make menuconfig" require X to be installed? I dont have X, i just have RH 7.1 with kernel dev and kernel sources installed (atleast those were the ONLY things i had selected during install). 2-if i untared/unpacked the kernel to the folder /root/newkern (here is where i did the "gzip -cd linux 2.4.7...... |tar xvf -" command) is it ok to delete the newkern folder and unpack nd then do the "make menuconfig"?
