+         The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
+         Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
+         in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
+         Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
+         Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.
+
+         If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
+         kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
+         version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
+         supplied by Christian Ludwig)
+
+         High compression options are mostly useful for users, who
+         are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram
+         size matters less.

+         The old and tried gzip compression. Its compression ratio is

+config KERNEL_BZIP2

+       help
+         Its compression ratio and speed is intermediate.
+         Decompression speed is slowest among the three.  The kernel
+         size is about 10% smaller with bzip2, in comparison to gzip.
+         Bzip2 uses a large amount of memory. For modern kernels you
+         will need at least 8MB RAM or more for booting.

+         two. Compression is slowest.  The kernel size is about 33%
+         smaller with LZMA in comparison to gzip.
