RE: I'm stuck, please help...

Hi,

I also tried make config and make menuconfig with the exact message about
the rule thing. It did substitute whatever command I gave it for xconfig...
No luck there either.

If I just knew where to look for the right stuff and where to put it...

Oh! I know how to make symbolic links but how do I unmake a symbolic link?
It seems that if I ever point to the wrong file or directory it is there
until I reinstall. I have actually reinstalled the software to get rid of
an errant symbolic link. Not very efficient...

Thanks,

Clint Bach
