Make config...

[ferg]

I am trying to update/compile my kernel.
Whenever I type the command "make config", the system replies with
"bash; make; command not found".
I've tried to mount the cdrom to locate and install the "make file" if such exists, but the systems replies with "hdc; driver not present
mount; you must specify the file system type."

What's my problem? and how can i fix it?

Do "mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom" (or wherever to mount it). You should be able to install all of the development stuff you need at that point.

If this is a fresh install, and you have the 1-2gb + user space, I'd just reinstall and pick the "install every package on this cd" option. Takes 1-2gb, plus extra space for downloads, user files, source files, etc, and you can always uninstall stuff you realize you don't need later.

No go. It replies with: "hdc: driver not present
mount: /dev/hdc is not a valid block device."

Now I am stuck. I cannot mount the CD to load "make". This not good. Help.

Is you cdrom on secondary/master?

hda primary/master
hdb primary/slave
hdc secondary/master
hdd secondary/slave

Look in your /etc/fstab to find out what device it is.

Insert the cd first and then

mount -t iso9660 /dev/hd? /mnt/&lt;mountpoint&gt;
