I would like to mount the ramdisk residing on flash (running PWL on a
DOC2000) so changes can be made and then saved again. After mounting the
DOC under PWL, I tried to unzip the ramdisk so I could mount it for
editing. What was a 1.3Meg file ballooned to more than 30Meg after
unzipping the file. I wasn't sure of the exact size because it ran out
of ramdisk space. Surely, 1.3Meg can possibly expand THAT much?!?. I had
renamed "ramdisk" to "ramdisk.gz" and then tried running "gunzip
ramdisk.gz" What is the correct command to unzip the ramdisk? 

Thanks,
Stephen
