Right. squashfs-lzma-tools 4.0-2: http://deb.grml.org/pool/main/s/squashfs-lzma-tools/ Note: grml's squashfs-lzma-tools does *not* conflict with Debian's official squashfs-tools package but instead provides its mksquashfs binary through 'mksquashfs-lzma'. (That's how we support ZLIB and LZMA both at the same time in our buildtool.) > should i change line 61 of /usr/bin/lh_source_debian from > "squashfs-lzma-tools" "squashfs-tools"? or is there a less hacky > way of doing it.

Kernel patches are available at: http://git.grml.org/?p=grml-kernel.git;a=tree;f=2.6.31;hb=HEAD > i´m running out of space and would like try using lzma to make > some more. using dvd is not the best option for me because: 1. > when it comes to download time the shorter the better and 2. > believe it or not i still run into a lot of computers which may > have cdrom but do not have dvdrom. That's why we are using LZMA at Grml as well. :) HTH && regards, -mika- -- http://michael-prokop.at/ || http://adminzen.org/ http://grml-solutions.com/ || http://grml.org/
