Generally speaking, trying to compress something that's already compressed doesn't gain you anything. Often, things will get bigger (e.g. new archive headers will be added to the file), and you're just creating more decompressing work to be done. The same applies whether trying to recompress the same file twice, directly. Or, trying to compress something else containing them (the ISO with compressed files). -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
