RE: Custom Kernel

[Barrie Bremner <nospam [at] ecosse.net>]

This one should be easy....or so it`s made out to be in the docs...

I want to recompile the kernel to use the optimised core for the PII, rather
than just the bog-standard i386 job.

However, after following all the instructions, when it comes to copy the new
image across to /boot, I`m told that the file (zImage) doesn`t exist - yet I
spent a while staring at an xterm as gcc churned through its paces.

What should I do, step-by-step?

Oh, and why bother? :-)

What are the benefits of a custom kernel?

Cheers, Baz.
