Hello again,
Once more, I have questions about the installation instructions for my
Alpha XL 366.
In Code Listing 11 on this page
(http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-alpha.xml?part=1&chap=7),
it says that after the kernel finishes compiling, to execute this command :
cp arch/alpha/boot/vmlinux.gz /boot/
First of all, the compiled kernel is not in the arch/alpha/boot
subdirectory, it's in the current directory (/usr/src/linux). Second, it
isn't vmlinux.gz but vmlinux .
Should I gzip it?
I seem to remember that back in the day, we did "make vmlinuz" which
gave an already gzipped kernel, but now, there is no target named
"vmlinuz" in the Makefile...
Sorry to ask all these little questions, but I just want to be sure, and
since there are differences between the instructions and what really
happens, I don't know if the instructions will give me a working system
in the end... So I prefer to ask here.
Thanks,
J-S
