123 | The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable. |
124 | Several compression algorithms are available, which differ | |
125 | in efficiency, compression and decompression speed. | |
126 | Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel. | |
127 | Decompression speed is relevant at each boot. | |
128 | ||
129 | If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed | |
130 | kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <[email protected]>. (An older | |
131 | version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was | |
132 | supplied by Christian Ludwig) | |

134 | High compression options are mostly useful for users, who | |
