lzma + squashfs status update
by Bruno Wolff III
Phillip Lougher posted a patch set for lzma + squashfs this morning on lkml.
So it seems very likely that 2.6.33 will get this feature and that it would
be possible for it to be in F13.

liveusb RFE
by Bruno Wolff III
As requested, my ticket for the liveusb RFE is:
https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/ticket/642
This was prompted by not being able to easily be able to have large
(> 4 GB) images on a usb drive where the extra space was usable by
windows. liveusb can't boot off of ntfs (and I am pretty sure the current
script won't let you use ext4 even though it should work) and none of
the fat varients can have files larger than 4GB. I could use multiple
partitions, but it is a pain to have to squeeze do the ext3 partition
to not waste space.
Since I am under a time limit (for some Christmas gifts), I wasn't going to
futz with livecd-iso-to-disk much to try to get this to work right now.
Probably I'll look at doing something with it later after some of my other
projects are done.
