the file you want is called romimage.
Ok but the file romimage is 900K and my flash is but a measly 256K here is my config file...

The other question I have is this, the linux /usr/src/linux line points to my kernel, but I'm wondering, when I normally build a kernel I copy from /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage and not /usr/src/linux/vmlinux so what exactly is the vmlinux part in /usr/src and what is it used for? I mean I can see by using file that vmlinux us a ELF File and all that, and bzImage is a x86 boot sector. but well, I normally copy bzImage over and that is it... so don't know what the vmlinux file is used for to tell you the truth, and up until now didn't know it existed... Is that *supposed* to be the kernel I use to boot or the vmlinux file?
