At the moment I don't have space on my HD to compile nothing
(it is a 200MB HD), but in a few days I'll be having a
better PC than my old 486, maybe a Pentium with 2GB HD and a
modem!!! (I don't have a modem for my 486, only the
EtherWorks3 NIC, thanks for de e3wrk module in BL 2.10) to
run BL . Maybe then in the new PC I will be compiling the BL
kernel as bzimage with the same config file of BL (The BL
kernel have just what I need)
