Hi Israel,

Great news :-)

It will be a valuable improvement in zmktbl to have that flag for 
extreme compression.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'own builds of ToriOS'. But maybe I can 
use my ageing but still powerful HP xw8400 workstation with 2x2 xeon 
processors to build an ISO file with a PAE kernel or even an amd64 
kernel. Please advice what I need and how I should do it :-P

Best regards
Nio
