compiling new kernel

[Beavis <beavis@bidz.com>]

i am trying to compile the kernel 2.2.14 on to my i386 machine
please help if u can, thnakx

update:

after doing make bzImage, it starts to compile, which takes about 10 mins or
so right.
then at the end it says:

as86 -0 -a -o bbootsect.o bbootsect.s
make[1]: as86:  Command not found
make[1]: *** [bbootsect.o] Error 127
make[1]:  Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-2.2.14/arch/i386/boot'
make: *** [bzImage] Error 2


why is this happening?
i went over a redid the make menuconfig and even checked to make sure it
saved properly .config in /usr/src/linux-2.2.14
