Using bzip2 doesn't save RAM, but it saves space on the root floppy.
(If you add all three ide modules on it, you would normally (using gzip)
end up with image bigger than 1.44 MB).
Therefore I suggest to compress initrd on the root floppy with bzip2,
which claims for using a bzip2 decompressor

One thing I'm unsure of is whether or not I was correct in excluding shlibs

Well, there is actually another category. We have one library (libnewt0.52)

Like I said, my SGI O2 seems to have developed hardware problems, but I'm
