| |
Hi guys,
This 2.2.13 patch[1] adds bzlib (bzip2) decompression support to the kernel, in linux/lib/bz, and allows you to compress your initrd images with bzip2 instead of gzip.
Any testing or feedback on this patch would be greatly appreciated.
There is a companion patch[2] to mkinitrd 2.0, which comes with RedHat 6.0, which adds bzip2 compression, variable initrd image size, and some other features.
Regards,
Jeff
