It is according to the manpages. However, remember the kernel must be uncompressed eventually. Not sure how exactly the boot-loaders manage this, but under some systems there may be a memory restriction. Also, you may in fact want a zImage for certain laptops and PC's (but there's that 640k limit thingy). Btw, 5MB (that compressed right?), does seem awful large. My kernels in /boot all weigh in under 640K (and yes, they use modules, current ~480K worth). Course, I turn off a lot of stuff that I don't need ;0. -- Eric G. Miller <egm2@jps.net>
