YAK q (yet another kernel question)
 

ok when i compile the kernel (which compiles just fine)

i have a bzImage in the boot directory
and this other file, vmliux

what is the vmlinux file for?? is that for booting from a floppy or something?

Is it vmlinux or vmlinuz ?

I have been told that bzImage is the kernel compressed with bzip compression, and vmlinuz is the kernel compressed with Z compression. However, that could have been wrong. I've always simply renamed the kernel to my needs anyway and was unconcerned with size or name of the kernel after the build ;)

Cool
