# file /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.6.el5 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.6.el5: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64, version 1, stripped Doesn't look that way - BUT, it is a self-extracting archive. AFAIK it is gzipped, and it is not tarred (why would it be - it's one file?). mhr _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
