make dep bombs

[Kevin F. Berrien]

Well, I'd kinda like to stick with the "red hat" method, as its what I'm 
used too, and I know my kernel is in-snyc with the distribution, FC1.

This thread is a few days old, so I'll repost a bit of the make dep 
output, and where it bombs.

make[2]: *** No rule to make target 
`/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl/include/linux/autoconf.h', needed by 
`/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl/include/linux/modules/signal.ver'.  
Stop.

As are you, I'm not a kernel guru either.  Though it looks as if there 
are issues autoconf.h which is needed by signal.ver.  And thats about as 
much as I know.... <grin>

Running a home server on a below average box, so I'd like to slim down 
the kernel.
