Linux Kernel 2.4.16 "make dep" error

[Gregory J.Neumann]

Weell, silly me!  I read the README with the warnings about unpacking the 
files somewhere other than /usr/src!  I bet if i move the stuff back to 
/usr/src the the whole problem will go away.
And once again, I wont' make the meeting!  I'll be racing back from St. 
Mary's College in Indiana w/ the 2nd daughter for Christmas break.  
Anybody know at what point kids become "low maintenance"? ;-)  (I suspect 
NEVER!)

Thanks for all the help!  Maybe I'll make the January meeting?
