A few questions about the Tecra (a20) problem

[Stephen Parks <stparks@idirect.com>]

Hi,
I will be buying a laptop soon and I would like to know a few things
about the extent of the Tecra problem.

1. Has anyone ever done a survey of which laptops do or do not require
the tecra boot disks?  If so, where might I find it?

2. How big of a problem is it to compile the kernel as a zImage rather
than a bzImage?  Does it restrict you in any way?
