Thanks. Now more questions. I have read about this a few times but |
27 |
never quite figured it out. I copy the bzImage and name it bzImage-* |
28 |
because that is what it is named when I type make etc to build a |
29 |
kernel. Is there a difference between bzImage and vmlinux? If it is, |
30 |
is it safe to rename it like that or will it break something? If I need |
31 |
a vmlinux kernel instead of a bzImage, where is that thing? I have |
32 |
looked and I don't have one on mine here. Maybe I am missing |
33 |
something. Google didn't find me anything either. |

Someone else posted the space their grub2 install used so I got plenty |
36 |
of space for that. I made /boot about 375Mbs last time, thinking about |
37 |
grub2 I guess. So, I guess I am good on that part. |

Thanks much. |
