118 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
119 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
120 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
121 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
122 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.
123
124 If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
125 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
126 version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
127 supplied by Christian Ludwig)
128
129 High compression options are mostly useful for users, who
130 are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram
131 size matters less.

148 Decompression speed is slowest among the three. The kernel
149 size is about 10% smaller with bzip2, in comparison to gzip.
150 Bzip2 uses a large amount of memory. For modern kernels you
151 will need at least 8MB RAM or more for booting.
