Hello,

On RHEL 6.3, I attempted to add a package to ovirt-node-iso, but I get this 
trace. It looks like
mksquashfs osmin.img is being passed '-comp None':

# edit-node --install vim --repo ./rhel6.repo 
ovirt-node-iso-2.5.999-999.1.el6.iso

TypeError: execv() arg 2 must contain only strings

squashfs-tools-4.0 on RHEL does not support '-comp'. So I bumped it to 
squashfs-tools-4.2 from
upstream, still see the issue.

Based on imgcreate/fs.py, setting 'self.compress_type = gzip' in edit-node 
seems to work.

Is mksquashfs supposed to detect the compression type and use that? Any 
thoughts?
