Re: [Devil-linux-develop] SquashFS with lzma-compression

[Heiko Z. <he...@zu...>]

Hey,

I don't like having the basic DL functionality dependent on patches which
are not in the mainstream kernel (we had problems with this in the past).
That's why I don't like the idea of using it for initrd or cd-rom
compression (already gzipped anyway).
But I like the idea to offer it for additional functionality.
