[Voyage-linux] Squashfs with LZMA compression, for a truely small root fs

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi Leon,

I have be assessing the patch to put it in voyage, but unfortunately, 
the patch seems incompatible to the one used in voyage kernel 
2.6.17_3.0-2.  voyage kernel has changed to use ubuntu as a based kernel 
and has included squashfs patches.  It is a 3.0 version and has no LZMA 
support. 

Unfortunately, I had almost freezed the kernel development for 0.3 and 
new features will wait until 0.4, that I think voyage will adopt ubuntu 
2.6.19 kernel.

Other question: what improvement do I get for LZMA support?  FYR, daily 
voyage Live CD uses squashfs+unionfs and is a 32MB ISO.

Regards,
Punky
