Hey Peteer:

Using "make zlilo" does all of that for you.  And if I remember correctly "make 
bzimage is/was (it's been over a year since I've read about that command) for co
mpiling floppy images that are too large.  I have made kernels in the 800k range
 and never had to use any other command than "make zlilo".
