(lrp from the package archive, compared to the one you created on your devel box?). Part of that may well be that the gnu gzip works a little differently than the busybox one. The real test would be to see how big your modules.lrp is after you backed it up on your leaf box. As far as I know, there's no posix or ansi standard on what exactly gzip should do when "-9" is given as an argument, so there's a pretty good chance that gnu gzip and busybox gzip use (possibly slightly) different algorithms for compression - which would obviously result in different results. Sorry, I have no hard facts to back that up, other than anecdotal evidence that busybox gzip tends to be more agressive at compressing things (trading space for speed is what uclibc is all about, so it wouldn't be too surprising if the uclibc developers made different choices than the gnu gzip developers did)
