Last week I did an install from a solaris platform to another disk in
the same box. One thing that struck me as odd was that miniroot.fs was a
tgz file, that is, gzip'd. Until Solaris 9, I don't think gzip came with
Solaris, and it is just one more step to work around.
Is there any reason to not leave it as non-gzip'd, or use compress? I
realize gzip is probably a better compression agent, but we're just
adding one more step in the process.
ciao!
