you can get them directly with either ar + tar, or dpkg-deb. > Can you not just make it available for download? Yes, i can. > Why is the zImage called vmlinuz (see above). Surely this must confuse more Because it has always been so for debian packages. And is what kernel-pckage produces. If you don't like it, fill a bug report against kernel-package, but i doubt Manoj will appreciate. > people than just me.

Ok. So you only need the vmlinuz-2.4.22-powerpc. I will unpack it for you. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
