If the problem is that the compressed kernel and the uncompressed kernel don't fit in memory, then why not keep the compressed kernel image on disk and load it in pieces as it becomes necessary for decompression. I could imagine that a 64K buffer would be sufficient (if a little slow.) Kurt Olsen kurto@cc.usu.edu
