I've searched for info on this.  I even tried typing in make and then
hitting tab twice.  It never gave me anything so I guess it doesn't work
there.  So, I'm learning as I go. 

I got nconfig to work.  The others didn't because of missing packages. 
It's interesting how many different ways there is to config a kernel.  I
went to a link that was posted, still reading it.  May learn something
else, if I can remember it when I need it.  lol
