Re: [PLUG] how kernel compiling works

[Wayne Dawson <jongalt@pinn.net>]

Thanks for everybody's help.

I now have a kernel with SCSI and RAID support built in.  I conclude this 
from the fact that I have my software SCSI RAID mounted and lsmod does not 
show any modules whatsoever.

I got a message toward the end of the make bzImage command which indicated 
that my kernel is too big for "standalone" boot from floppy.  Should I 
worry about this?  If the computer fails for some reason, I want to be able 
to move the SCSI interface to another computer, plug my external RAID into 
it, and boot from a premade floppy for this purpose.

Can I do this?

Thanks,
Wayne
