bzip2 has pretty large memory

bzImage stands for "big zImage" - this is a format invented for kernels that
don't
First I have a question about the compression of bzDisk. While trying to
debug the reason for a modular boot failure versus a successful
non-module boot (XFS filesystem for root), I found that I can mount my
initial ramdisk on loopback as a means of examining which modules are
available to it.
