Well, things marched right along till I got to the line for git clone etc.
[root@coyote kernel]# git clone rsync://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git linux bash: git: command not found
Humm, back up & find it put git stuff in /root/bin ?????
[root@coyote kernel]# /root/bin/git clone \ rsync://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git linux /root/bin/git-clone: line 2: git-init-db: command not found * git clone [-l [-s]] [-q] [-u <upload-pack>] <repo> <dir>
So why did it put it in /root/bin? It's there, but not in my $PATH. And theres no "make uninstall" to clean up the install so I might be able to cleanly fix the miss-fire... Murphy rides again..
