<p>
In the main section to two check boxes are just indicators of what
compression has been used on the root filesystem.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Gz if gzipped, and bz2
in bzip2ed, and gz if uncompressed.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Usually, the compression is
auto-detected, but if it isn't you can manually choose the compression
type, or override the real compression type.&nbsp;&nbsp;
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.&nbsp;&nbsp;
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.
