It runs it from your cwd. with out it it just checks your $PATH's which mostly consist of your bin's and sbin's. If you want to add another directory you should be able to do this
#$PATH = $PATH + /new/dir/here

Ok, you want the mouse to work?

First off, you did enable USB support in the kernel, right?

Right?

Anyway, go into /dev and type MAKEDEV usb and MAKEDEV input

Your mouse should be on /dev/input/mice. Cat it to the display and move your mouse around. If everything is cool, you'll get a bunch of gibberish.
 
hahahaha. i love it. our 'l33t h4x0r' did not know how to run X or about command paths.

yo kid.. following the step-by-step online does not a hacker make.
 
No one really cares if you're kernel or whatever is compiling. Just tell us when you're finished and give us a brief paragraph.
 
yargh, recompiling the kernel with the right options this time!
finally figured out what the help option did in make menuconfig

can you tell me specifically why you think mandrake is bad?

Oh that's right, you know nothing about linux, carry on.

Reasons why people don't like linux:

#1) Condescending fanboys.

If you were installnig mandrake, you'd be done with this a long time ago.

You see why all my machines run OSes that com from Apple or Microsoft pre-compiled 😉
