Yes it does create vmlinux ... but it also creates "bzImage" .. [kingsly@utopia linux-2.4.17]$ ls -l arch/i386/boot/bzImage -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 924198 Jan 27 03:57 arch/i386/boot/bzImage [kingsly@utopia linux-2.4.17]$ I have not used vmlinuz in quite a while.. because the kernel has gotten too big for that compression algo... so I guess they must have removed it. (make vmlinuz ... while it existed would also create both vmlinux and vmlinuz) Kingsly _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
