Both files use gzip compression. >The 'bz' in 'bzImage' stands for 'big zImage', not for 'bzip'! Hmm, that's interesting. I've never read the docs because I try to do as little linux as I can get away with. However, it occurs to me the reason I had the impression that bzImage uses bzip compression comes from the linux users I know who think the same thing. I'm not sure what that says, but it says something. Brandon D. Valentine -- "Iam mens praetrepidans avet vagari." - G.
