Re: Compiling a kernel
kernel-package does this, including putting System.map-<kernelversion> in
/boot. It also gives you an option for creating a boot-floppy with the
new kernel.
What does system.map do? I've compiled kernels before without
kernel-package and never had problems. Likewise, what about boot.xxxx,
boot.b, etc.?
