This comment seems to be misleading - I think you mean "vmlinuz" there, or maybe "zImage" as the file is named in the kernel build tree to make it clear what you're referring to. "vmlinuz" is the name chosen by distro installers. -- RMK's Patch system: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 9.6Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net.
