hi all
i have installed knoppix on a terminator box and it's a good distro
i want to mess up with the install
i'have a problem with the make command (dont work at all)
root@tester:/usr/src# make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
:roll:
i have crossed google on various languages to find a makefile for make to copy or download but the one i've found is buggy
and for the people asking for the same prob, i've not seen solution
at the man make command, they say the user has to code the file
does some have that file to share or know some way to generate it automaticly ?
thanks

I do not undersand you here. To 'mess up' is usually not a good thing. If you want to install Knoppix to the hdd then simply do this:
sudo knoppix-installer
If that's not what you wanted to do please post again.

thanks for reply
yes mess up will be bad for the kernel == i want to unustalll kde & install gnome and unustall a lot of modules then unstall a lot of other ones then recompile
so i think i'll destroy the kernell
lol
my prob is at the make command
i can't use it do the makefile the system doesn't find
how can i get that file ?
thanks

make by default looks for Makefile. You don't make things out of nothing. What do you want to 'make' ?

You can remove almost all of KDE like so:
apt-get remove libarts1
Use Synaptic to select the Gnome packages you want.
and unustall a lot of modules then unstall a lot of other ones then recompile
Again, use Synaptic to ease the selection of packages to be removed. Be careful though unless you knowwhat you're doing.

If you want to rebuild the kernel I would suggest trying the Debian way which is quite simple. Here's a quick and easy howto:

Makefile comes with kernel-source package and gives instructions to make program how to compile the kernel.
There's some good sites where you can get help in compiling the kernel, too:
http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html
http://www.desktop-linux.net/debkernel.htm

thanks for the links
i was wrong with the makefile
it's in the rep /usr/src/linux when you do the right stuff (i didn't) lol
i have updated to kernel-source-2.6.3
the comp have rebooted without any bug
how can i verify the kernel current version running ?

thanks all
make command works fine now
even if :
root@sony_vaio:~# uname -r
2.4.24-xfs
it seems the kernel was not updated
anyway it's a good begin
