    Changing from gz to bz2 compression for the boot image in the main section has no effect and gzip is still exectuted.  [back]

    + +In the main section to two check boxes are just indicators of what +compression has been used on the root filesystem.   +Gz if gzipped, and bz2 +in bzip2ed, and gz if uncompressed.   +Usually, the compression is +auto-detected, but if it isn't you can manually choose the compression +type, or override the real compression type.   +In the ARS you can actually +compress a root filesystem after it has been created by turning +compression on, choosing a compression type, and pressing the Accept +button.   +Basically, the main section just assumes you already have a +compressed filesystem, this will change in the future; however, actual +compression is done either in the ABS (not yet) or the ARS, the main +section is just used to put together the parts. + +
