I downloaded the source code: (base, sys parts), and configured the generic kernel file to my needs. When I came to compile the generic kernel file the "make depend" command completed successfully but when I typed "make" I had errors come back at me complaining of missing *.c files, audio.c etc.... Then when I typed "make install" I received an error saying I have to make the kernel before installing it. I assume I downloaded and installed the sources correctly, but do I need and extra to what I already have? Any help is greatly appreciated. Many thanks Richard
