I would be wary of bzip2 - I have had on and off success with it, with most of the problems coming from bzipping text files. IIRC, bzip2 is optimized for binary files, so that might be connected. Also, this might be related to my use of bzip2 under Window$/DO$, so YMMV. I have not had this problem with gzip, so unless the gain is major and the reliability is 100%, I'd stick with gzip. mhr _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rpmforge.net/mailman/listinfo/users
