	Copy it to /boot  .  Use an uppercase "S" so it ends up
/boot/System.map  .
	When this file is in place, if your kernel ever crashes you'll
find more detailed information in your system log (/var/log/messages) that
can help find the source of the error.
	Cheers,

BTW: Even PCMCIA systems might want to use 2.1.127 with the latest
(Nov-10th) PCMCIA beta package.
