Subject: Installing a new kernel

    The manual shipped with SuSE-AXP is a funny book - you can see, that the most important
    changes to make it AXP-compatible where made in just a few hours ;-)
    after compiling the kernel, I have got the vmlinux.gz
    now I want to install this as my second kernel (I start the AXP with ARC/NT-Bios-Console)
    ...
    but:
    in the manual they talk about an vmlinuz, but I have got the gzipped Verion (??)
    vmlinux.gz - what do I have to do? ungzip it?
    And how can I use the kernel as second kernel?
    can I rename the old one in /dos and /boot to vmlinuz_suse and simply make the changes in
    the ARC-Console?
    Because you con't boot the System over linuxrc I better ask before ;-)

    ThanX

    Philipp
