Kernel-image 2.2.10 or linux.tar.gz 2.2.10?

["David J. Kanter" <djkanter@nwu.edu>]

I've got both of the files above, but don't know which is the best one to
use in order to update the kernel (2.0.36) on my Slink + Potato system.

I saw the buzzword "system.map" in the docs for the kernel-image, but I know
I won't be able to customize a kernel unless I've got the sources: the
tar.gz file. Is the kernel-image just a generic kernel to get you running?

And is the potential error with the system.map easily fixable if I were to
use the tar.gz file? (Just look for where the symlink points to the new
system.map, right?)

Thanks.
