} Before you go any further, please allow me to point out that you need to

} kernels
} (it is difficult to compile anything without a compiler ;-).
}
} Firstly, you will need gcc, the libc development package (libc5-dev or
} libc6-dev at the time of writing), and, on Intel platforms, bin86. [If
} you use the menuconfig target of make, you will need ncursesX.X-dev,
} and make xconfig also requires either tkX.X-dev for 2.4.X kernels, or
} libqt3-mt-dev and g++ >= 3.0 for the new 2.6 kernel versions, and 2.6.X
} kernels also have an additional option, make gconfig, which requires
} libglade2-dev, and other packages these depend on]
}
} The packages suggested are:
} devel: gcc, libc5-dev/libc6-dev, binutils, make, and, for intel
} x86 platforms, bin86 (non-Intel platforms don't need
} this), modutils (or module-init-tools for 2.5.x+ kernels).
} interpreters: awk, which is contained in either the mawk or gawk }
packages
} base: gzip, shellutils, and grep.
