[PLUG] Make command

[andrew.t.sydelko.1]

Two things, 

1) Your zip drive, if it's an ATAPI drive, should just work. look in
   /mnt for zip, if it's there try mounting it (mount /mnt/zip)

2) the error you got from making the kernel is because you put too
   many drivers in the kernel and it's too large to fit in the boot
   sector. So, it's giving you the option of compressing it differently
   (bzImage) or making some more things into modules. The easy way
   to fix this is use (make bzImage) instead of (make zImage). Also
   note that the kernel name in LINUXSRCDIR/arch/i386/boot will 
   change to bzImage from zImage

Hope this helps,

--andy.
