Creating A Configuration

The first step is to run make. After checking some prerequisites (see ch:troubleshooting below for aid in problems), a console based configuration menu should start. Theoretically no choices have to be made, but it's proven useful to at least:

• select a target (menu: Embedded System)
• select the root filesystem type (menu: Target Firmware type)

Then quit saving changes. If you forgot that, just run make menuconfig again, redo your changes, then save.
