I have been looking at the various releases of Slackware in the Utah depositary. I was interested in which bzimages corresponded with 2.2.16 and 2.2.26. I found that 2.2.16 relates to Slackware 7.1. Its bare.i bzimage = 719k. I could find nothing that had a reference to 2.2.26. I could find no bzimage that equaled 742k. What is the bzimage.big from the BL website? Are there Slackware releases missing from the Utah depositary?

I think, those kernels were specially compiled by Steven for BL.

That is correct.

Another thing I noticed is although there are many mirror sites for Slackware there are very few with code prior to the 10.0 release. Eventually it may be impossible to get the older code needed to keep BL as it is today going. Steven have you given any thought toward a more up to date version?
