If we are < 600k (they actually recommend 500k, but 590k is more like it) then bz kernels are a very bad idea. Manoj, does the kernel package always build bzimages or does it look at the size of gzip -9 vmlinux and decide based on that? > I've no idea why my desktop hates it.

I've only inspected the kernel default (ie dd if=bzImage of=/dev/fd0) no idea what lilo, grub, syslinux or loadlin do, but the end results must be the same.
