Hi I am looking for a compressed ext3 file system, for a read-only purpose. The idea is that I would like to make a live-cd that is fast to install. The install should be almost just a raw copy of what is on the cd, uncompressed. In that way I should be able to make an install of a full Linux system of say 3 GB in under 2 minutes. The fs type I would like to unpack is ext3 - but other fs types should be doable as well. Then I would like to run the cd from the cdrom drive, so some kind of live-cd running code should also be available. Has this been done before? Is the idea feasible? best regards keld
