hi all,
As long as the majority of the files are not plain text - I have had
really bad results using bzip2 on text files - specifically, massive
file corruption. I have had to go back to pre-bzipped archives to
rebuild these files - not a fun task.
Isn't the kernel source stored as a tared bzip file? If so, that's a lot
of plain text.
# file /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.6.el5
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.6.el5: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD
x86-64, version 1, stripped
Doesn't look that way - BUT, it is a self-extracting archive. AFAIK
it is gzipped, and it is not tarred (why would it be - it's one
file?).
Not that file... I meant linux-major.minor.blah.blah.tar.gz say from
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6
And, my mistake... it's gzip'd.
