You only needed the vmlinuz, but no harm done AFAIK

weird...
that's the boot kernel. You didn't modify the fix disk, or did you?

the files for 13mdk after the fix is:

vmlinuz-2.4.21-0.13mdk:         1,252,867 bytes
System.map-2.4.21-0.13mdk:      582,951 bytes
config-2.4.21-0.13mdk:          47,284 bytes

the files for 13mdkenterprise after the fix is:

vmlinuz-2.4.21-0.13mdkenterprise:       1,298,073 bytes
System.map-2.4.21-0.13mdkenterprise:    587,748 bytes
config-2.4.21-0.13mdkenterprise:        43,891 bytes


and the mdsum for the images:
e40d06ee7db6b7fceb7962bf611810c0  13mdkboot.img
64b4504bee188fe9acac94febcbc6c64  13mdkentfix.img

If you didn't change the fix disk,
and you didn't copy the vmlinuz to the /boot partition
maybe lilo didn't run... (could you try to rerun lilo)

I used "installkernel" command that is supposed to
know if you are uning lilo or grub and update accordingly,

but I could of couse force the lilo install, 
but that would be bad if someone out there is using grub...

Or should I just make this fix-images for MDK-installers
that does not use grub (this is MDK default AFAIK)


If I only could find a ftp host to put theese files on,
it would be much easier to make all images available..
My own real homepage will be up for another week AFAIK...
