Hi,
I wanted to use some of my local files in my local-WHATEVer.lzm on my debian based system as well and therefore installed "squasghfs-tools" V1:3.2r2-2b
Using it on a lzm it says
Can't find a SQUASHFS superblock
Since its description says "It uses zlib compression to compress both files, inodes and directories."
I think the new lzm using another compression, right?
Does anyone know which tool I must install to access the lzm files?

http://www.squashfs-lzma.org/ says the following sourcecode is needed:
# squashfs 3.3
# LZMA SDK 4.57
# SquashFS-LZMA 3.3-457-2
# Squashfs CVS fixes
# linux kernel 2.6.24 or higher

But it also says
Make sure to use a supported Linux Kernel, as only version 2.6.24.3 is supported.
My Linux uses Kernel 2.6.22.14.
OK, I might upgrade, but then 2.6.24.3 is not even the newest kernel version.
Is there really no .deb package available?

P.S
It would be enough to use some kind of "lzm2dir", I do not need to include the real fs.

If you just want to be able to use the squash-fs tools, you don't need to upgrade your kernel.
(I've ported it to Mac Os X, so building it on Debian should be doable ;) )

And I've seen no .deb available yet.
But this isn't that hard to compile.
If you don't want to compile a new kernel, I suggest you to disable kernel compiling (there is a variable in the Makefile)
Following the instructions from squashfs-lzma should work :)

Edit : And indeed, Thomas's tools use lzma compression.

Hi rava,

installing the latest linux live tools from ftp://ftp.linux-live.org/Linux-Live/linux-live-6.2.4.tar.gz is all you need ;)

You are right that's all it tales, precisely copying the tools/ folder to /usr/bin (or anything else from $PATH) is enough ...
Thanks
