I am trying to compile the 2.2.19 kernel one one machine for installation on another. I believe I need to do more than just copy over bzImage and modify lilo.conf, but I don't know what. Is there documentation somewhere on how to do this? Thanks.
Other than making sure you configure it for the box it will eventually run on - nope you have it all sorted. If you use modules you'll want to install the modules on the target machine too
On a related note... is System.map also necessary? Anyone care to explain
what System.map does? I have noticed that my kernel works with or without that file, but just figured it was a good question to ask in this thread.

Debugging. ksymoops and klogd can both make use of it.

Used by assorted user space utilities, ps, ksymoops, klogd and others. It is not needed for booting, so its presence in /boot is a mistake.
