        ok.. so it's an error message problem. it's basically saying "this
program needs windows to run".
        so why does the "make menuconfig" kernel-configuration option exist,
if you need X to run it? why not just do "make xconfig"? what does Debian
use for 'make menuconfig'? (because I seem to remember doing that from the
console). (do they somehow set the system to use tclsh if wish won't work?
why hasn't RH done this?)
        going to have to fire up my Debian box and look at it...

feeling really ignorant...
