bzImage?

kbumsik opened this issue · comments

Hello, I am very new to building Linux. Firstly thank you for this nice article.
So I tried to follow your explanation but I was suck here:

We'll copy our binaries over.

$ cp /path/to/busybox usr/bin/busybox
$ cp /path/to/bzImage boot/bzImage

bzImage appeared all of the sudden, without being mentioned until now. Newcomers to Linux like me may have no idea what does bzImage means and where to find the bzImage (although when I figured it out by looking through your Makefile).

Good point. I should mention that it's the kernel you built and that the linux makefile tells you where you can find it when it's done.

This should make it clear I think.
