Hi, Well, I did some testing a while ago, the result is in: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2007-12/msg00114.html Even with lzo compressed image core.img, lzma can save up to 5K. -- Bean _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
