What kind of hardware do you have? If it's a mac, you should be on
the linux-mac68k list. Otherwise I can't help you.
Your best bet for compiling a kernel (for a mac) is to get the latest
2.2 source from cvs. Search the linux-mac68k archive for cvs or
cvsroot, and you'll find the instructions. If you don't find it,
search for my initials (cbb), since I've posted the instructions there
recently.
Best wishes,
cbb
