Thats what your saying. :) I compiled X on m68k, took about 24 H on a
060, i.e. the strongest m68k system.

But what do I care if it takes 24H and 5 minutes because bzip2 takes 5 
minutes more to uncompress?

But I realy do care if I need another zip to carry debian updates
home, because they are gziped, especially if I have one lees than I
would need. :)

May the Source be with you.
