Gareth- your half right. MZMaker is for the RUN from RAM routers, which is a
good portion of the images Cisco supports. I have used MZMaker exclusively in
the 2500's for the past 2 years (HOMELAB ONLY). It will not work on the new
12.1 (2500 Series), run from FLASH images- as you suggest. I'm not sure if
you have upgraded a lot of routers, via the CCO... but a majority of the
images have the MZ designation in the IOS name. Cisco uses the very same
program to compress their images...
