  Doubling numbers to make a point doesn't do much for your
credibility.  The FreeBSD 4.3 package set (disc1) is about 10% smaller
when compressed with bzip2, not 20%.  Someone on portmgr recently ran
the same test with the 4.5 packages and came up with the same number
(~10%).

  David O'Brien is working on adding bzip2 support for packages,
distributions, and kernel modules to sysinstall.  I agree that moving
to bzip2 will make CD-ROM installs more pleasant.
