I wouldn't know where to test that, even.  :-)

I suppose I could play with bzip2 and stuff?  bind, apache, sshd,

You can pass root=/dev/ubd0 to the kernel for that.

KNOPPIX, AFAIK, boots with an initrd that includes a cloop module for
the kernel you boot with.  It then mounts the big image file with that
cloop driver.... I don't think they use zisofs.
