Hello All, I am trying to understand vmlinuz. From my searching and reading, one can boot a functioning linux kernel by using vmlinuz. I am still a bit fuzzy on some particulars. 1. Where does one download and learn about vmlinuz? I find URL to FilesTube, etc but I dont trust these websites. 2. Can one boot vmlinuz in a VMWare Virtual machine? 3. I run OSX on my laptop, could I use something like MacFuse to mount a vmlinuz parition as drive and slip stream files to it? (not wanting to use SSH or FTP really for what I am playing with) 4. Can I compile vmlinuz from source on my OS X machine? Some resources and pointers would be greatly appreciated. Best, -Jason
