RE: [Linux-decnet-user] Applying Kernel patch

[Akihiko T. <TAN...@sp...>]

I tried the following commands to make bzImaze:

cd /usr/src/linux
make dep; make clean
make bzImage

I got a make error:

make: *** No rule to make target 'bzImage'. Stop.

DO I need to modify Makefile? Is it in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot directory?
