You may be able to claim that your no-partition-tables hard disk contains compressed data if you slap gzip or bzip2 header to the beginning of the the disk. Or even better, write a header that says "technobubble compressor version 0.1-alpha3 1999-06-15". When asked how to decompress that, you say "they went out of business". -- Jari Ruusu 1024R/3A220F51 5B 4B F9 BB D3 3F 52 E9 DB 1D EB E3 24 0E A9 DD - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
