[SWLUG] kernel compiling + system.map

[nat]

afternoon.

quick question for the collective, when i've been compiling kernels for
various boxes i've usually followed the routine below:

make menuconfig
make clean
make dep
make bzImage
mv /vmlinuz /vmlinuz.old
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27
ln -s /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27 /vmlinuz
lilo

I haven't chosen loadable module in the kernel options, so no need
for make modules, make modules_install etc.

should i be copying the system.map file for each kernel? i'm slightly
confused what its used for - all my boxes have been running ok so far.

thanks again,

nat,
