it's called mzmaker - its standard cisco compressed format its only for 2500
routers (most other routers' images are already compressed.) But you have
to have enough ram to decompress the image...

Subject: Compress IOS image

Hi,
As I remeber somebody say the router could run a compressed IOS image
for save the flash space, it can make a 10 or 12 MB image in a 8 MB
flash, and the router will decompress at boot-up automatically , but it
need take some longer time to boot the router up. Now problem is anyone
known that IOS image compressed format , does zip or gzip or just UNIX
compress -- suffix as .Z ?

Best Regards
Tasuka
