So what you gained by the create_compressed_fs is lost by trying to compress an already compressed file. |
Yeah, I guess I need to wade through create_compressed_fs and see what's going on but, don't we use cramfs too?
Isn't that more compression?

Athough I agree with Grim that a user could create a website and allow downloads from that using monkey, I believe ftp is easier for a newer user to impliment and get running.
It also provides password security and can be accessed from internet explorer. |
I have to disagree with you on the beatftpd though. SSH is a drop in replacement for FTP and it doesn't transmit passwords in cleartext across the network. With all of the complaints about multiple wm's/editors/browsers, why include SSH and FTP, especially since FTP's weaknesses are well known and widely exploited. Trying to reclaim space on a desktop distro, the FTP server should be the one to go.
