[linux-help] Re: Kernel compile

["gLaNDix (Jesse Kaufman)" <glandix@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

you'll have to use 'make bzImage' and manually install the kernel...  do
that by copying /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to
/boot/vmlinux-x.xx.xx (or whatever you use as a naming scheme)...

this just uses the bzip2 compression rather than the normal compression
(or so I understand)...  regardless, this should work for ya!
