I think Michael refers to the lzma decompressor which allows you to use a lzma-compressed kernel as a (b)zImage with its architecture specific decompressor piggy-backed in the (b)zImage. Such thing would also be very useful on MIPS and PowerPC as well. -- Best regards, Florian Fainelli Email : florian@openwrt.org http://openwrt.org ------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
