That's why I never set up a linux system without mc. It's just so much easier when you can look inside an archive and manipulate files just as if it were part of the file system. :) Anyway, the archive has a directory inside it (linux-2.6.29). That's where all the files are. So it would be /linux-2.6.29/Makefile. Be lucky, Neil http://www.neiljw.com
