I've now prepared the precompiled kernel binary (OpenWatcom 1.2, FAT32, 8086) in ROMDSK this way. (It always contains the latest CVS kernel.)

i'm a little worried about this -- this may be incompatible with the GPL!
I don't know really. If anyone is competent on licensing issues (albeit not a lawyer) fell free to comment. I'm not sure that even UPX is compatible with GPL, because its authors themselves violate it by REFUSING to publish the source code of the NRV ("Not Really Vanished") compression library!
Bart is right - this is incompatible with the GNU GPL, and cannot be used to pack the FreeDOS kernel (which is under the GNU GPL.)
