I am new to Linux (using Red Hat 6.0) and I wanted to make a custom Kernal.
When I did make zImage it seemed to go ok without any errors, but when I did
make zdisk it gave me an error about the Kernel being to large. It was 653k
and when I rebooted Xwindows loaded up incredibly slow and it was some what
unresponsive is this due to the size or did I just screw something up.

by the way the Kernel is 2.2.5
