bzImage). I also hope that my comments did not cause anyone a problem.
The offset mentioned is just a (once handy anyway) means of putting a
kernel on a dis

You are misunderstanding. bzImage is the new kernel format deve

If you use lilo or loadlin then you don't want the bzImage but if you
cat or dd the kernel image to a floppy t

This is not true. They contain a kernel patch (having to do with
initializing ram above 1M) that enables Tecras and s
