but thats a single file above, not a directory tree like linux-4.19.94-rt39 is: example: pi@rpi4:/media/pi/workspace $ xz -c linux-4.19.94-rt39 >linux-4.19.94-rt39.xz xz: linux-4.19.94-rt39: Is a directory, skipping I think I need to tar it first, and I've space to do it, so I'll try that as a two step way to do it.
