zImage... good idea. I hope that helps people having install problems
with the bzImage that still have problems with tecra (although I don't
have an example at the time).
two different bootable CDs... do we have to do it this way? I'm not
familiar with bootable cd's, but couldn't we install lilo with several
different kernels, maybe a rescue mode, etc? I think the kernel has
gotten to the point where we can't put everything in and use modules. It
may be time to look into 4 or 5 kernels with modules (e.g. one for
laptops, one for generic desktops, one striped down for low memory, etc).
