SubjectSmall and unimportant description mistakes of Kernel compression mode in kernel config
the mistake is enclosed by brackets[]

In bzip2 the description is:
Its compression ratio and speed is intermediate.
Decompression speed is slowest among the [three]. The kernel
size is about 10% smaller with bzip2, in comparison to gzip.
Bzip2 uses a large amount of memory. For modern kernels you
will need at least 8MB RAM or more for booting.

In lzma the description is:
The most recent compression algorithm.
Its ratio is best, decompression speed is [between the other
two]. Compression is slowest. The kernel size is about 33%
smaller with LZMA in comparison to gzip.

The LZO's description is:
Its compression ratio is the poorest among the [4]. The kernel
size is about 10% bigger than gzip; however its speed
(both compression and decompression) is the fastest.

But there are five compression algorithms in total :)
