It probably won't give you a smaller file. The entire
ramdisk (4096kb) is being copied to that file (garbage
bytes included).

Mount your DOS partition (*not* on /mnt) and cd to where
baslinux.gz is. Insmod loop. Then do this:
---------------------------
gunzip baslinux.gz
mount -o loop baslinux /mnt
---------------------------

Yes.

Nope. First you exit and umount baslinux (i.e. /mnt). Then
you gzip it (so loadlin.exe can use it).

Oh yes it will. I do it often.
