(a) The OLPC actually uses a compressed file system already, because of that Published Sophie Books for the OLPC use a zipped file with no compression. The zipped file will live in the journal at some point.
(b) Does setting oops values back to start of zero actually make it more compressable, versus say a start value of 0x00004000? Otherwise the computational energy used to traverse the image is technically wasted.
(c) ittle/big endian? OLPC is based on the geod aka intel instruction set.

Having just watched a video about OLPC and seen how little storage they have. Have any OLPC folks done this normalizing the image already?
Is the OLPC big or little endian?
I may be having a go at testing my latest this weekend, would anoyne be willing to help out with the windows version since I lack tools/machine etc?
best regards
