please download a snapshot and install that, that will be much easier. (the kernel config file syntax had changed and you would have to rebuild the config binary prior to configuring a kernel, and some more stuff might also have changed, so you are better of with a snapshot). > > ../../../../conf/files:1005: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1006: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1007: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1008: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1009: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1010: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1011: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1012: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1013: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1014: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1015: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1016: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1017: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1018: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1019: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1020: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1021: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1022: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1023: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1024: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1025: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1026: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1027: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1028: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1029: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1030: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1031: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1032: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1033: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1034: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1035: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1036: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1037: syntax error > ../../../../conf/files:1038: syntax error > *** Stop. > > Oddly, the "conf" directory does not even exist where it is supposedly > having all these errors.
