We need numbers for all compression algorithms for the code that would actually be compressed, not the whole image, which includes the multiboot header, the lzo uncompression implementation and some other functions. Anyway, it looks like gzip is doing a good job. By the way, gzip uncompression is used in Linux kernel on i386. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
