Nice....
This is my latest N00B stumbling block, and unfortunately I haven't found an answer. I know that it's a compressed elf format, but I can't figure out what I need to do to get elfboot (part of LinuxBIOS) to load payloads with the ZELF extension. So for now I would recommend N00Bz stick with ELF format, until we get a definitive answer.
zelf == elf. The file format is identical.
It separates images that are self extracting from those images that are not compressed at all.
