Ah, okay, one last thing then-- So once I have a bzImage from "make kernel", can i then just make a new directory in /usr/src/systemimager/boot/i386/ and copy the bzImage to "kernel" in that directory, copy the .config file from the linux source directory to "config", and then copy the rest from the "standard" directory?
