I was indeed in the /usr/src/linux directory. Specifically from the NISTNET installation guide 4.Make sure you can build and install usable kernels: cd /usr/src/linux make config When I try the "make config", it gives me an error such as: make:*** No rule to make target 'config'. Stop I initially thought this error might be because there is no Makefile in that directory. But I get the same message even if I try it from the /nistnet sub-directory (where there is indeed a Makefile present). I could not find any .configure script present.
