Correct.

Thanks for pointing me to lzma. So the squashfs 3.3 on F9 is patched to have lzma support? Good to know... after a bit of investigation, it turns out that between 3.2 and 3.3 the squashfs project took the lzma pactches, and forgot to mention it in the changelog. How misterious and cute :-/ After a bit of testing, squashfs-3.2 on F9 produces a squashfs I can mount on F7. But the image still does not boot. Something else in the initrd must be messing up. cheers, martin -- martin.langhoff@xxxxxxxxx martin@xxxxxxxxxx -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
