FAQ

Here are a few questions that were asked by early testers, and that can be of interest for everybody. I didn't know where to put them, and I decided an FAQ list would be a good place.... If you have some question/s that you consider worth putting here, then send them to the e2compr mailing list, e2compr@list.fuller.edu (if possible with answers). You can be sure that the maintainer will see this, and posting to the e2compr list also allows other e2compr users to make alterations, or provide an answer if you haven't.

• not yet decompressed: How do I see if a file has not been decompressed?
• swap file: Is it possible to compress a swap file?
• fragmented: It seems to me that files will be fragmented a lot.
• boot/root floppy: Can I make a compressed boot/root floppy?
• files not to compress: What files should(n't) I compress?
• uninstall: How do I uninstall e2compr?
• gzip comparison: E2compr doesn't seem to compress as well as gzip.
