OK... it should be "make menuconfig" then "make dep" > 11. 'make >/home/dlawlor/kernel-make' All the output from make is placed > into '/home/dlawlor/kernel-make'. that should be "make modules" then "make modules_install" then "make bzImage" feel free to redirect the output wherever you want, just remember to check the end of each file for error messages. your new kernel will be in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot the file will be called bzImage obviously, everything's case sensitive, and you don't type the quotes
