RE: [SLUG] mkbootdisk failing

I added the initrd.img to the vmlinuz and found out that the sizes
'just' exceed my floppy size. Is there a way to flatten out those files
so I can create a boot disk?

Can I somehow create a BzImage file that will be smaller than my present
files? Can I do that without endangering my filesystems?

Whenever I try to mkbootdisk, I get out of room on device error. My
vmlinuz file is only just over 1 mb. Any clues on what is happening?
