: Don't worry: gzip is part of the base system. <g> Your word needs to be in Microsoft's and Apple's ear. : Why don't we test e2compr better? Or zlib-compressed filesystem? That way we : can have the cake (docs are compressed) and eat it too (no changes required : to the docs). e2compr compression is really bad. Just around 20% for most files. I like the idea and debianized it but after I saw the compression ratios I thought it was not yet really up for prime time. Given the prices of harddrives my take on things is: Forget about all compression and make that something dpkg can do on the fly if necessary and configured by the sysadmin. I often wish I had no gzipped files around. Would make life easier for maintainers and also for users. IMHO All compression should be transparently done. I wish e2compr was better. -- --- +++ --- +++ --- +++ --- +++ --- +++ --- +++ --- +++ --- Please always CC me when replying to posts on mailing lists. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
