This is unnecessary. I have never tried doing this...it may not work. If you really want to uncompress the kernel, make sure you're using the unstable version of UPX that knows how to compress the kernel. > I have also tried to just rename it "linux" and boot with it, but it is > not recognized as a kernel.

Hard to say, but I can think of a couple of possibilities: 1) You're being bitten by the "netscape download bug", and your web-browser is adding carrige returns before line-feeds when downloading, because it thinks the kernel is a text file. Check the file-size on the web and on the file you downloaded...they should match EXACTLY 2) You're writing the file to floppy on a system that isn't properly supporting the 1680K (or other high-capacity) disk format. To make sure this isn't happening, write the kernel to a standard 1.44 Meg floppy. Take this floppy to your LEAF system, and copy the file to the ramdisk, then mount your actual boot floppy and copy the downloaded file to the file "linux" on your boot floppy. If neither of these methods gets you better results, post as much detail as you can on anything that looks suspect. Good Luck!
