SOLVED: RE: LILO & Kernel Image too big --> Make error
thanks to Mike. I've installed the bin86 package, run 'make bzImage' & lilo
again and set the system up to boot. Is the bin86 package only needed for
compressing the kernel image, or is it needed to "make dep", "make modules"
etc?
thanks
Andrew

This is another common one to run into. The package you need to install is
the bin86 package. as86 is the assembler used on the x86 platform. It's
not a required package, as not everyone uses the kernel on an x86 machine.
