thanks for your gracious reply

any chance of considering the merit of the proposal to rename TC kernel from bzImage to vmlinuz?

In the fullness of time ....of course

I have not forgotten your request. The Kernel name will be changed from bzImage to vmlinuz starting with Tiny Core v4.0. This will be useful for those wishing to use grub2 and its auto-detection capability.

coreplayer2:
Oh no!!  not a name change :(   What about all those all those folks who use Grub4Dos ??   who are quite happy with the naming structure as it is??

I guess the file supports Virtual Memory and is compressed, so how come it evolved to bzImage effectively bypassing vmlinuz?  maybe I got this confused but I thought bzImage is smarter in the function of expanding to non contiguous memory and a natural progression from vmlinuz?

curaga:
It's just a name, bzImage = vmlinuz for all purposes. You're free to name your kernel file as you want.

Lee:
I don't suppose naming it something like "tc3.x" or "2.6.33.3-tInycore" would simplify things?

;)   the capital "I" is just to help keep the forums active  ::)
