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.
