Hi Ole and others,

Exactly!

I just needed to download the libncurses5-dev package and the compiling with
make menuconfig worked. Great! But how to know this before you compile as a
newbe?

I only had the little problem, that the key mapping was mixed up and I
couldn't login as root (which showed as typed like: s´´w). But I found a
former post on this wonderful forum that pointed to the
CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES=y problem in the .config file.
I actually unchecked the support of ADB raw keycodes in the "Mac Device
Drivers" section during the `make menuconfig' procedure. That helped!

I also had to insert a `make dep' step before the `make vmlinux'
compilation. This is recommended at the end of the `make menuconfig' step.

Thanks a lot to all
