okay. the following steps assume that linux-2.4.12.tar.gz is located in /usr/src and that nothing else is in /usr/src. (NOTE: if anything else is in /usr/src it won't affect anything other than what you see in the ls command listed below). # cd /usr/src # rm -rf linux # tar xfvz linux-2.4.12.tar.gz ... tons of messages ... # ls linux linux-2.4.12.tar.gz # cd linux you are now in your linux source directory. try executing whatever commands you need. from this point on, /usr/src/linux is your source directory (sometimes referred to as the "source tree"). -- ____) ,_) ,_) (-(__ |_ _ _ |/ ____) | |(_)(_ |\ ( \_, _______________________________________________ | http://www.exitwound.org : hard to find | _______________________________________________ | Start every day off with a smile and get it | | over with. -- W.C.
