Yes -- try doing 'ls' and you will surely see that there is no Makefile in /usr/src/linux. If there is a Makefile, then it certainly isn't the correct one. The Debian kernel-source packages give a bzipped tarball in /usr/src called kernel-source-<version>.tar.bz2. You need to extract that via 'tar -jxvf <file>'. That will create the directory tree as /usr/src/kernel-source-<version>. Go to that directory and try 'make menuconfig'. On this machine it is /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.8. HTH, -D
