Thank you Mikkel!
Just to double check, in my /tmp/kernel directory, I have:
System.map-2.2.16-22
initrd-2.2.16-22.img
lib
vmlinuz-2.2.16-22
Where lib is a directory. Is this everything? If so, when I untar it on the
new system, System.map, initrd, and vmlinuz all go to /boot, correct? Where
does lib go? Do I copy the contents of the subdir "modules" (another
subdir, 2.2.16-22TMP) to /lib/modules so that I create
/lib/modules/2.2.16-22TMP/ ?
Thanks again! And thanks in advance!
