Linux installation with Squash FS support

Linux installation with SquashFS support is the LZMA. It is the name of the compression algorithm that can be used to achieve better compression with SquashFS. SquashFS is a compressed, read-only file system for Linux that compresses files, directories, inodes, and supports block sizes up to 1 MB for greater compression. It is intended for use in constrained block or device memory systems like embedded systems, and for general read-only file systems. LZMA improves the performance of SquashFS by better compression, which provides at least 5% reduction of the file system. The downturn of this application is that the decompression is slower than zlib. To obtain a mksquashfs that supports LZMA requires editing of the squashfs-tools Makefile to enable LZMA support. There are comments in the Makefile that will assist inbuilding LZMA support into Mksquashfs/ Unsquashfs. Once the application has been built-in, LZMA support can be specified by using the –comp lzma option.
