Once you get it compiled, just gzip it, name it linux.bin, and
substitute it in the new-powermac/images-2.88 folder where your stuff
was downloaded before by the mini-iso script. Then make a new cd. It
won't re-download stuff that's already there unless it's more current
than what you have. It doesn't matter that it's not exactly 2.88MB,
yaboot doesn't really care. Good luck!
