I've successfully installed the cross-compiler for powerpc-linux and am
trying to build the kernel. There is a HOWTO @ ppcpenguin.org that tells you
how to cross-compile ... which is what I'm following.

This is my first time using bk. I bk'ed linuxppc_2_4, but it appears that
the whole thing does not get downloaded. For example, the "scripts/lxdialog"
directory in the kernel source tree does not have any contents other than
the SCCS directory. I find this is a consistent problem with a smattering of
diretories within the kernel source tree. I cannot successfully execute
"make menuconfig" and am stumped.

Can anyone confirm whether or not the instructions under the "kernel
sources" link at ppcpenguin.org are accurate or not?

Thanks

Do "bk -r co" in your bk tree after your "bk clone" to check out the
actual source files.

Hehe, I got that impression the first time I looked at what I had downloaded.
You must issue some other comands from bk. Read BK's faq and documention to
know what to do. If I remember correctly, you'll have to do something like
#bk get

At the linux top directory(where Makefile should be). There are other
parameters, to tell bk to do this recursively.

This is Linux country.
