Hi,
using bz2 format instead of tar.gz will reduce quite a bit of size for linux builds.
I downloaded a tar.gz linux build, ( size above 9mb)
ls -l phoenix-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz gives 9573832 (9.1 mb) as the size
i unpacked it, made it a tar file ( tar -xf phoenix phoenix.tar )
and did
bzip2 -9 phoenix.tar
the resulting size of phoenix.tar.bz2 is 8952819 (8.5 mb, i think)
why not u post the bz2 image? it will reduce a lot of download time.
Y not u use bunzip2 for preparing linux builds?
