This might be useful to people, until we get a bootloader that supports gzipped kernels. ------- start of forwarded message ------- From: Joris van den Berg <[email protected]> Newsgroups: comp.sys.acorn.announce Subject: gzip Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2002 22:58:48 +0000 (UTC) Message-ID: <[email protected]> The RISC OS port that was availlable of gnuzip wouldn't run on my strongarm machine, so I've made a quick and dirty port (I don't know for sure if it is dirty, but it sure was quick) of it. As far as I know it does the trick. At the moment I haven't got a website to put it on, but if anybody is interested in it, mail me. gnu zip is the unix equivalent of !Squash, it can compress and decompress files. It is needed to decompress eq. netBSD kernel images. Files that have been compressed using gnu zip cannot be read with !Sparkplug and usually have the dos-extension .gz (/gz) Greetings, Joris van den Berg [email protected] -- [email protected] ______________________________________________________________________ [email protected], Backup Moderator of comp.sys.acorn.announce.
