Hi dear list,
I have heard that "make menuconfig" for kernel 2.6-beta1 is deprecated?
Am I correct? If yes then how do I get into the config?
Alos tryied to run 'make menuconfig' from tcsh and got error like:
Missing }.
Best Regards,

You are wrong - make menuconfig is still OK.
Mak sure to read the document made by dave j. before playing too much
with 2.6.
It is at: http://www.codemonkey.org.uk - but I cannot get in contact with it
right now.

Too little context to determine where it goes wrong.
I tried with tcsh here with success.
Try the followings steps:
1) Do not compile as root. In general does as little as possible as root.
Only the kernel installlation requires root priviliges.
2) Try to run "make -n", that may hint where is goes wrong.
3) Do not locate the kernel src in /usr/src/linux - it will conflict with
glibc header files. No matter what a HOWTO say otherwise.
4) Try another shell, for instance bash.
Not that the kernel build should rely on bash only, but an approach to
get your kernel to compile.
