Help building a new kernel...

[cdoerbec at cso.fmr.com (Christoph Doerbeck A242369)]

In summary for all the replies...

	1) Changing the version ID is likely done in version.h

	2) I should be using `make bzInstall` or `make bzlilo` and
	   the ramdisk kernel image (initrd) should get created
	   automagically...

	3) module path is determined/set in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
	   so I could likely tool that file to my own preferences,
	   but I've I can successfully tweak the version-ID then
	   it won't be neccessary..

Yes... I plan on adding the second CPU shortly.

Not completely true.  There is a `make newversion` which used to bump
the compile ID up one and thus linux-2.2.5-4 became linux-2.2.5-5, but
that doesn't appear to be working here.
