That explains why it was smaller than mine (before I compressed mine).

They will take less time to load than a standard executable if the
entire upx'ed executable fits in ram and your hard drive has DMA
enabled. This is because CPUs are usually fast enough to keep
up with hard drives, and since the file is smaller it takes less time
for the hard drive to load it into memory.

That's why I gzip'ed mine.

Yes. I need to run configure again with --enable-color-style and then
remake. I will upload a new binary soon.

For most (maybe all) applications you can use a kernel header version
that is fairly close, such as 2.2.26 for 2.2.16.

For compiling new 3rd-party modules you will usually need to grab
the 2.2.26 kernel source.

Thanks!

Have you tried manually using mplayer with these files?

You need to set this to "audio/x-ms-asf" to match the association
line.

> extension "ram" "audio/x-pn-realaudio"

You need to set the association line to mplayer -playlist instead
of just mplayer. All ram files that I have seen are playlists. Same
goes for .smi or .smil files (newer version of ram).
