Looking for an Linux kernel image

[Chris Midkiff]

I've not had much experience with loadlin, but a zImage file is a small
kernel build from the normal source tree.  If you download the kernel
source, (like perhaps the new 2.4.1 version) and follow the make
instructions that come with it, you should be able to come up with a working
zImage.  Most kernel's (including the Corel one, I'm sure) are bzImage (Big
zImage) files.
 
What are you trying to accomplish?  If you are simply trying to boot from a
floppy, you might try mkbootdisk...

Subject: Looking for an Linux kernel image

Hi, I am trying to boot Linux with loadlin. The problem I have is that I do
not have the "karnel image" that loadlin ask for. I have tried to locate one
on the net but with no success so far. In the descriptions of loadlin that I
have read this file is often referred to as "zImage". I have the first
edition of Corel Linux.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =

Thanks for your help
