Okay, I did that, and it churned away for a while building the new
kernel. However, just at the end of the process, I got an error,
something like 'command: as86 not found'; I can't remember exactly.

I ended up with a new vmlinux (uncompressed) kernel in usr/src/linux,
but no vmlinuz anywhere (I searched for it).

1. Any ideas why the compression step failed?

2. Can I compress the vmlinux I just built into a vmlinuz, so I don't
have to recompile again?

cheers,

j.
