+ 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.
+
+ If in doubt, select 'gzip'

+ 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.

+ The most recent compression algorithm.
+ Its ratio is best, decompression speed is between the other
