"added"?"added"?Posted Apr 8, 2009 22:46 UTC (Wed) by roelofs (guest, #2599)Parent article: 2.6.30 merge window, part I Support for compressing the kernel with the bzip2 or lzma algorithms has been added. "Added"? Then what's this "make bzImage" thing I've been building for a decade? (Neither Documentation/ nor arch/*/boot/Makefile is terribly clear on the details...) Greg

Contrary to common assumption, bzImage has nothing to do with bzip2. It stands for 'big zImage'.
"added"? Posted Apr 11, 2009 19:31 UTC (Sat) by roelofs (guest, #2599) [Link] Aha! Thanks, I figured it had to be something like that. I guess the fact that bzip2 and bzImage showed up around the same time contributed to the confusion...Greg

Wow. Thanks. I had no idea either, and was rather confused myself. The
new bzip2 option makes rather more sense now, thanks to you. =:^)
