Hello All,
|
|
|
|
I recently created a compressed file that holds all the HOWTOs that are in
|
|
html format and placed them in a tar ball. I then used bzip2 on them and
|
|
added a link so that others can download it.
|
|
|
|
I was asked why I used bzip2. The easiest explanation that I can give is
|
|
that it compresses a lot better than anything else and is widely/freely
|
|
available. <A HREF="http://sourceware.cygnus.com/bzip2/">http://sourceware.cygnus.com/bzip2/</A>
|
|
|
|
So my question to you (yes all of you) is what would you like to see?
|
|
|
|
tar
|
|
tar.zip
|
|
tar.gz
|
|
tar.bz2
|
|
|
|
I'm open to anything and I suppose willing to have more than one type of
|
|
compression available. Just let me know how you would like your docs made
|
|
available to others.
