same as me! make xconfig is the X version - I have run make menuconfig via
a ssh shell from windows. Its a text mode one

yeah. I would run a "make mrproper" first - for some reason if I didn't do
that then my kernel wouldn't run. Then
make menuconfig
make dep
make clean
make bxImage
if i remember correctly. Installing the new kernel is a whole new topic....
and we should take this off the netfilter mailing list ;)
