Other Help Topics :: Installing "make" for Compiling the Kernel

You do know you will have to replace modules too?

Thanks for the reply!

The problem with using a bzImage file is that "isolinux.cfg" is configured to use linux24. So if I used a bzImage file wouldn't I have to change a lot of things and get rid of a lot of files? If yes and if it is do-able I have no problems working on it since the Boothbox kernel really needs an update anyways. But it appears to me to be more complex than just dropping in the bzImage file.

What I did as a temporary fix was install DSL to the hard drive. Then I copied the linux24 file, and the modules from it. And repackaged up Booth. I burn't the CD and as is well. But like I said, if there is a way to compile the kernel and use the bzImage file I would certainly do that.

Like I said, linux24 is just renamed bzImage...

So I can create bzImage and rename it to linux24? I tried this already using the latest kernel source files and it didn't work. The system would get to the splash screen for Booth and then would boot into the HD install I have for DSL. Do I have to use 2.4.* kernel source instead, I originally tried using 2.6.*?

you would need to change more for 2.6 than just copying bzImage and modules. Stick with 2.4 for now..

Yes, just rename bzImage to linux24
