Which Linux unzip?  The mini-unzip in BL3 is not suitable.

You need to use an unzip that works.

You also need a correct initfs.gz

Sorry about that.  I've now corrected it.

So far, so good.

Do you mean www.volny.cz or www.basiclinux.com.ru?
As I've said before, www.basiclinux.com.ru is usually fastest.

lilo is not the only difference.  The floppy version of BL3
uses a 4mb ramdisk (same as BL2).

I have just telnetted to the BasicLinux site 
and unzipped bl3-32fd.zip and bl3-32.zip using 
a Linux unzipper (not the busybox unzipper).  
They both unzipped perfectly.

Cheers,
Steven
