Thanks James,
I usually place the source into /home/charlie/kernel, then unzip it and
it creates a directory of its own :- linux-2.4.xx-xxmdk or something similar.
Then symlink to that directory from lilo. But putting the image itself in
/boot sounds like a good way to go. I usually symlink into the other
distributions also. But maybe just copying the image to /boot might be
better.
