First off, make sure that you have an updated copy of lilo which can support
big vmlinuz's. Next, go into the /usr/src/linux directory and type:
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
if you want the kernel to automatically install:
make bzlilo
otherwise cd into arch/i386/boot/ and look for a file called bzImage. cp that
to wherever and run lilo.
