Re: own Kernel - ram disk problem

No, you cannot rename, nor can you just copy.

You must:

	(1) Run unpack.s to unpack the whole thing to directories

	(2) Change bz2bzImage to bzImage in settings.s

	(3) Change bz2bzImage to bzImage on line 111 of buildit.s

	(4) Delete 1/bz2bzImage, replace it with your bzImage

	(5) Run 2/bin/buildit.s to rebuild a new installable tomsrtbt

	(6) Run the new install.s to install it to floppy
