I would uncompress it INTO your home directory, or whatever build environment you use: % cd ~ % mkdir build % cd build % tar zxvf /Dos_hda1/mydownloads/Kernel.tar.gz If the kernel's a .bz2, use 'tar Ixvf'. This should make a directory named 'linux' in the current directory. Change into that and run 'make menuconfig' or 'make xconfig' if you're in X, or 'make config' if you're a masochist/nostalgic.
