if you edit lilo.conf as I have mentioned in the past (redhat has
a brain-dead version that specifically has the version number in
the image specification) and just point it at vmlinuz, you don't
have to copy the executable, nor do you have to do anything other
than the make install. We support about 15 linux boxes and do this
all the time...
