Being a huge Slitaz enthusiast I have made a few changes in tazusb to support bzip2 (level 9) compressed rootfs which you can download from - https://www.box.com/s/9a8cffdfe7ccfd3234c3 Usage - # tazusb writefs bzip2 Please remember the following - 1. First install the bzip2 package. It is not installed by default. 2. Backup your old rootfs.gz in case something goes wrong. I have tested on Slitaz 4.0. 3. Change your syslinux.cfg file to point to rootfs.bz2 instead of rootfs.gz. I have uploaded my own syslinux.cfg. Search for bz2 and you will find the entry I use. These modifications are for USB backup only. Here's my blog post on the same topic where you will find a link to another post with some more tips - http://oldpapyrus.wordpress.com/2012/06/11/tazusb-bzip2-compression-support/ Hope it helps. Happy Slitaz time!Posted 12 years ago #
