This does not seem to work either - menuconfig is not being invoked:

rber at yocto-1:~/projects/yocto/yocto_for_trainer/sandbox_work$
./03.05-configure-build-poky-kernel.sh

### Shell environment set up for builds. ###

You can now run 'bitbake <target>'

Common targets are:
    core-image-minimal
    core-image-sato
    meta-toolchain
    meta-toolchain-sdk
    adt-installer
    meta-ide-support

You can also run generated qemu images with a command like 'runqemu qemux86'
