Once you get it compiled, just gzip it, name it linux.bin, and substitute it in the new-powermac/images-2.88 folder where your stuff was downloaded before by the mini-iso script. Then make a new cd. It won't re-download stuff that's already there unless it's more current than what you have. It doesn't matter that it's not exactly 2.88MB, yaboot doesn't really care.
