Hi, OK, so I'm reading through the new Slackware book that's online as part of my campaign to study for LPI certification, and in the kernel section on building a kernel, it says to do (from the /usr/src/linux directory, after making a backup of the old kernel, system.map, and so on) cat arch/i386/boot/zImage > /vmlinuz (or bzImage, as the case my be) I never actually noticed the sequence of commands here, since my last step was always make install, which generally did the correct bit of magic to get the new kernel working. So...is there any particular reason you copy the kernel this way, rather than using cp instead? I'd really love to know if anyone can tell me. ... Thanks. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV Email: davros at ycardz.com Voice mail: 877-791-5298 All opinions are all mine!
