[oclug] vmlinux or bzImage ?

[Tom Goulet]

>I installed /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage into /boot but a file called /usr/src/linux/vmlinux was produced at the same time which appears a bootable kernel also and it shares the same name as the kernel I replaced.

bzImage is the actual bootable image.

vmlinux is used to generate bzImage, and other than that, I guess it's
good for show...

Standard practice is to move the bzImage file to /boot/ and rename it to
vmlinuz.  (note the z)
