Remastering Tinycore.gz HowTo - A simple way

<< < (2/3) > >>

curaga:
Note that gzip compression level does not affect decompression speed. It's the same mb/s no matter if you compressed with -1, -9, or higher with advdef.

Misalf:
Interesting. I wouldn't have guessed that.

I am not sure but think, -2 may be more reliable/less time comsuming on old and slower machines. Anyhow curaga has already answered abt it.

Do you think, in your code:

find | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -9" > ../tinycore.gz

should be something like:

"find | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -9" > ../tinycore.gz

?

Thanks to all for expert comments.

gerald_clark:
No you should not add the quotes.
Higher numbers in gzip take longer to compress, but not to decompress.
The more highly compressed files will be read faster off the drive/CD so it will load faster.

Advdef will compress it even more, making it load even faster.
