:when I compile from source and while I am not using kernel-package(most
:of the time I use it) I do:
:
:make menuconfig (for me, its easier then xconfig, xconfig exposues so many
:more options even when they are greyed out, harder to sort through everything)
:make clean
:make dep
:make bzImage
:make modules
:make modules_install
:cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-#.#.##

:(edit lilo.conf)
