Able to boot zImages?

[Lukas Eppler <godot@fear.ch>]

Hi,

Less than 1% of machines which are able to run linux won't boot from a 
bzImage, but from a zImage. (This is what suse@suse.de told me, a german 
linux distributor.) I have this problem.

Debian Rescue Disks base on a bzImage. I would like to install Debian, 
but the Rescue Disk crashes while loading. (This is the mentioned 
problem, I think.) If I install a zImage at the place of the old bzImage, 
the loader tells me that the image was invalid or damaged.

Because the loading mechanism is rather different from the one used by 
Redhat or Slackware I do not know how to prepare such a boot disk.

Suse spent a lot of time trying to solve that bzImage-Problem but didn't 
find a solution up to now. I do not need to solve that problem, but I 
would like to install debian. Do you know a way to install it without
a boot disk? Or can you imagine how to prepare a simple zImage-Bootdisk 
to work with the other six Debian-Rescue-Disks?

Thanks in advance
