Oh so it is the same as for any disk; I thought I had to use a "dd" command or else recompile and do 'make zdisk' rather than 'make zImage'. I was not sure I could just copy as I would copy anything else. thanks -- Andrew btw, my vmlinuz is actually a bzImage, so I would need to recompile a kernel.
