Fabio - buona sera --

 

I tried to again, compile the kernel to my liking - there is no /usr/src/linux directory; rather a /usr/src/i386-linux-3.2 (if I recall)/include.

 

Either way, I type 'make' or 'make menuconfig' or even 'make clean' and I get a 'no rule specified -- no makefile'

 

I tried Caldera and was able to recompile - but I want to stick with Mandrake.

 

How do I upgrade my XFree86 to the latest 3.3.3?  For 3Dfx support?

 

Thanks,

 

Paul

be sure to be in /usr/src/linux directory and be sure to have installed all
kernel source packages. If you are tring this within a graphical console,
use make xconfig instead of make menuconfig.
