Hi;
As a matter of fact, Cisco 2500 is not compress image. You have to use
compress tool
like mzmaker to compress cisco ios image.
The size of the IOS image is much more smaller and it will fit 8M flash.
Be careful, you need to have enough memrory in your router. Becasue the IOS
will self-decompress
the IOS while start up. It has no problem on cisco 2501, 2513, 2521.
I strong recommend that you should not use "mzmaker" in production
environment.
You should try to serarch in the cisco website, type cross platform ..
For example, memeory requirement for 12.1 for various platform that you can
follow the link that

n121/121feats.htm
Hope this help
