I always copy do: cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-version-gentoo-r? cp System.map /boot/System.map-version-gentoo-r? cp .config /boot/config-version-gentoo-r? System.map is a memory map of the kernel. It is quite informative in that respect but it is certainly not necessary to boot. I just think it's interesting to have. -- Bo Andresen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
