Quick kernel question

| I have always placed my bzImage kernel image file in my boot partition (/boot) and edited lilo accordingly. However, I see some books/guides that put bzImage in the root (/) partition. Is it just a matter of preference where you put the bzImage file as long as your image line in lilo.conf points to the right place? Or should it always go in /boot? | |

| As long as lilo.conf points to it, I wouldn't think it matters. It's just a matter of preference in most cases. I wouldn't want to place the kernel in any of the larger partitions like /usr, /home, or /var, but /boot should be on the / partition, or its own. I typically just put the kernel in /. | |
