It is in fact the case, I put more stuff in the desktop, but not much more. -- Andrew

ThinkPad actually reboots into new kernel
Can anyone tell me why on my ThinkPad, I can compile a kernel with 'make zImage' instead of 'make bzImage'? I cannot do this with my other machine which has 64MB RAM; it won't be able to load the kernel because it is too large. I was surprised that I actually got my ThinkPad to boot into the new kernel. I did 'make zImage' because I found out a few days ago that laptops have trouble with compressed kernels. I could never get the ThinkPad to boot to a newer kernel after I used 'make bzImage'. I am just wondering why I can get away with 'make zImage' on the laptop when a larger machine can't handle it. -- Andrew
