Hi Ole and others, Exactly! I just needed to download the libncurses5-dev package and the compiling with make menuconfig worked. Great! But how to know this before you compile as a newbe? I only had the little problem, that the key mapping was mixed up and I couldn't login as root (which showed as typed like: s´´w). But I found a former post on this wonderful forum that pointed to the CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES=y problem in the .config file. I actually unchecked the support of ADB raw keycodes in the "Mac Device Drivers" section during the `make menuconfig' procedure. That helped! I also had to insert a `make dep' step before the `make vmlinux' compilation. This is recommended at the end of the `make menuconfig' step. Thanks a lot to all
