OK.  make bzImage seems reasonable.  In lieu of going thru
the huge Kernel-Rebuild-Guide, I'm trying to stumble thru a
Kernel Compilation guide from the local Linux Users Group.
It has helped me before, but that was for 2.4 kernels.

I started with the following steps, and the last one listed is
well under way.
 
 make dep
 make clean
 make bzImage 1>>rept 

More later.
