RE: what file?

[Hank Hagquist <hankster@xxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, here is what seems to be happening. No where on the system can I find
xconfig or menuconfig. I did log in as root and searched the /usr/src/linux
directories and could find no .config file or any source codes. Is this
normal or what? Doesn't seem right.

I tried using whereis to find xconfig and menuconfig and it found nothing.

I did download the latest kernel as I figured I might as well update when I
finally get this all figured out.

But where do I need to go from here? On both cds that I have of Linux, I
could not find source code on either of them, nor could I find xconfig or
menuconfig.

Any ideas on where to go from here?

Thanks,
Hank
