Oh, I found those.. but nothing that is applicable to a 2.4 kernel really..
I was hoping someone had used/was using something like this.
I'm going to have a play with zisofs and see if I can't get it to do what
I want. I really only need to update the image once a month or so, other
than that it can be read only.

It's the freedb database, so it's pretty large. 100meg bzipped but I ran
out of space (Over 1.1GB) trying to uncompress it and I'm trying to fit
it on a laptop. I already have a 30gb drive in here, I'm trying to buy some
time until the new IBM 60gb laptop drives hit AUS and become affordable.

Thanks for the tips all.
