+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.
