What abou if i want to create a favicon.ico so I can use it when people bookmark my site? I found that it may be 2 images one with 16x16px and 16 colors and the other with32x32 with 256colors, both in the same file (favicon.ico). How can I do that?

same question here. I want to make .ico files that work on other platforms. How can I do this with Inkscape, etc.? I'm guessing I make all the icons and put them into a zip file and rename as .ico, but I really need to tutorial with details of the process. Thanks.
