From my /boot listing previously, you can see that even SUSE creates a system.map in the /boot folder, and that's a precompiled kernel (so it's not like it's copying manually or via make install). So I kinda suspect that it's a needed file across all distros, whatever it may be called.... and, looking in /usr/src/linux, it is a separate file from the bzImage file, which is the actual compiled kernel. The fact that the make install command also finds it necessary to copy this file from /usr/src/linux to /boot is not to be sneezed at either, imo. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
