2. Type make menuconfig
3. Goto File Systems -> CDROM/DVD Filesystems and enable Transparent decompression extension

Can be compiled as module?

4. make; make modules; make modules_install

make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install

5. Copy the bzImage to /boot and update the bootloader configuration appropriately

 $ mkzftree intree outree

Is the command mkzftree is part of main stream distro? If not, where to get and how to install it?

creates a compressed directory (outree) out of a normal directory (intree). Now we will make an iso image out of the directory hierarchy.

 $ mkisofs -o mycd.iso -R -allow-lowercase -allow-multidot -l -L -
 z outree

May be Nikhil will answer and update us on the above questions.

Once again, Great work Nikhil, keep it up. With regards,
