You might want to keep the other ones, just in case, but if you're confident
with your current compilation, go ahead and delete everything but zImage.

Everybody advises use of zImage. But
When compiling the kernel, I just say "make install" at the end,
and I get /vmlinuz .
(The old kernel is stored as /vmlinuz.old .)
Then I re-build lilo from the setup menu,
and it all seems to work perfectly.
[I'm not even sure that I need to re-build lilo.]
This seems perfectly straightforward,
and simpler than the recommended route.

Is there some drawback in this ?
