Does anyone know how to install Linux over BSD on an Intel system? I am
having problems creating a image boot disk. Any ideas? "make bImage",
"make bzImage", and "rawwrite"? don't work. There is an error in the
"Makefile" file where it looks for the .config file. Not sure what is
wrong. Is there a site that I can download an image boot disk?

If you are trying to install Linux and not have BSD anymore on the
system, then your best bet is to use the boot and install disks/images
provided by the various distributions.  How to do this is *very* well
documented in many, many places, in "How to install Linux" documents.

What it sounds like you have been trying to do is compile a Linux
kernel.  And it sounds like you are pretty clueless about that.  There
is a pretty decent Linux Kernel HOWTO (try www.linuxhowto.com) on how to
compile a Linux kernel.  You may want to give that a read.  ALso, most
of the "Running Linux" type books have instructions for that.  It's not
hard, really, once you've read the documentation.  Basically, the
.config is the configuration file that the Makefile uses in compiling
the kernel.  It is created when you configure the kernel via the "make
config" or "make menuconfig" or in X "make xconfig" commands.  This is
all pretty well documented within the kernel documentation itself, along
with the various targets you can build to (e.g., bzImage, bzlilo,
bzdisk, etc), so I'll let you take it from here.
