linux squashfs squashed squash compressed filesystem kernel embedded tiny This HOWTO describes the usage of SquashFS - a highly-compressed read-only file system for Linux, which is intended for use in tiny-sized and embedded systems, and anywhere else you'd want to use a compressed file system. With this document, you'll learn how to prepare a SquashFS-ready Linux kernel, create a squashed file system and happily use it. The SquashFS HOWTO lives at http://artemio.net/projects/linuxdoc/squashfs.
