I know you're right. But that sound stupid to me: The kernel itself has routines built-in for decompression. Why isn't it enough to let Xen use the same routines for decompression as the kernel? -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
