kernel compile procedure

I am wanting to learn how to compile a kernel. and
perhaps tweak the kernel for my athlon cpu. just to
say that I've done it and learn.

As I have not found a precise document on how to
reconfigure the kernel, I am using previous posters
info, this website
[http://www.lesbell.com.au/Home.nsf/0/a81f3ecb7cf5028eca256cf2003035ca?OpenDocument]
(thanks to poster Stefan Berg) and the README in the
tarball, and piece together the instructions.


- what I've done so far-
from [http://www.kernel.org/]

"The latest stable version of the Linux kernel is:
2.6.7 2004-06-16 06:02 UTC F"
linux-2.6.7.tar.bz   download to /home/kate/kernel


(from lesbell website, see above)

cd /usr/src
mkdir linux-2.6.7
rm linux
ln -s linux-2.6.7 linux

bzcat /home/kate/kernel/linux-2.6.7.tar.bz2 | tar xvf
-
..
linux-2.6.7/kernel/power/poweroff.c
linux-2.6.7/kernel/power/pmdisk.c
..

- OK this far

cd linux
make mrproper

make dep

-OK this far

- What directory should I be in here for make
menuconfig?

make menuconfig

-but the output is this-

...

So, what am I doing wrong? I do have "Development
Tools" and "Kernel Development" as per Package
Manager.
Am I in the wrong dir for the make menuconfig?
