> First release of squashfs. Squashfs is a highly compressed read-only

> compress both files, inodes and directories. Inodes in the system are
> very small and all blocks are packed to minimise data overhead. Block
> sizes greater than 4K are supported up to a maximum of 32K.

> Squashfs is intended for general read-only filesystem use, for
> archival use, and in embedded systems where low overhead is needed.

> Squashfs is available from http://squashfs.sourceforge.net.

> The patch file is currently against 2.4.19. There is further info on
> the filesystem design etc. in the README.
