- Being that the ISO images are rather large, it might be nice to have a duplicate of each current ISO available that is the gzip version. gzip is suggested instead of bzip2 because gzip can be decompr

- Good idea (I'll check to make sure oss is configed to do this) but I doubt this will save space, every file on the iso is already compressed. So about the only space to be gained would be in the cd96
