Procedure 1. Building a kernel the ``traditional'' way


1.	Run config(8) to generate the kernel source code.

	        # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL

that's how the handbook shows how to do it and this is how I did it

		#/usr/sbin/config GWYNETH <----| that's what I named my custom kernel

but I got this

		#config../../compile/GWYNETH:No such file or directory

that's what I got the first time, so, I tried again and got this

		##config /GWYNETH:No such file or directory

what went wrong and is more info needed
