vmlinuz is the compressed kernel.
For example, when you compile your own kernels, part of the process is
"make bzImage" (used to be "make zImage"). This makes it a bit easier to
load into memory, copy to floppy disks, etc.
Notice that vmlinux is 2.25MB...you'd never get that onto a floppy to ma

I notice in the /boot directory that I have :
vmlinuz-2.4.2-2 785602 bytes, and
vmlinux-2.4.2-2 2271899 bytes.
What is the difference? I thought vmlinuz was the kernel filed that was
called on 'boot' but this particular file is small at least compared to
vmlinux?? What is the vmlinux fil
Vmlinuz is the compressed kernel. The one that actually boots. Vmlinux is
the uncompressed version.

Does anyone know why there is a vmlinux- as well as the
compressed vmlinuz- in /boot? Does the former need to be in /boot?
