oops,
I see I'm still not communicating....lol "subject line" is prerequisites
please except my appology... I'm reading and doing the exercises in the
prerequisites.
I was simply trying to build a custom kernel for my distro at this point... as
an exercise
before building LFS.
"It replaces the current .config " wow... now I'm really confused LOL
trying to understand
thanks tw3ak
