As for the ramdisk for start up never found it needed on RH, but I'm curious
as to the preference to use bzlilo , instead of bzImage. I've always used
either zImage or bzImage depending on the kernel version, and then edited
lilo.conf manually before running lilo.
I've also noticed that on the 2.2.13 kernel and later ?
there is no need to run make dep, and then make clean.
Any chance of some clarification on these please ?
