Are you using "make bzImage:" when you compile? It makes for a smaller kernel

Dear all,

I've just compiled a new kernel and the vmlinuz is over 2Mb in size.
Since mkbootdisk returns : Not enough space and I don't have a CD writer
on my system, I'm unable to create a boot disk and am a little wary
about not having one.

How does one know what are the minimum options to choose in order to
reduce the size of the vmlinuz? My system is a Toshiba Satellite 4030CDT
(Celeron 266 Mhz)

Thank you.

Regards,
Se-Hsieng
