Hello zagreb999.
Easy enough.
Check if you have lz4 installed by typing in console:If not, install it through the PPM.
Then install the latest version of PackIt, by forum member SFR.
You have to install lz4 before PacKIt, otherwise PackIt will not list ( recognize ) lz4.
IHTH.

That should be liblz4-tool, btw, here's also a deb for Packit (named it pack-it because otherwise it would conflict with a network tool named "packit"):zagreb999 wrote:mr. musher0 thank you!!!

(perhaps you need to restart X to have Packit displayed in the filemanager right-click actions)

Ah, initrd yes, can be done from terminal:
Don't know if you extracted the initrd1.xz already, anyway below will extract it and create new initrd.lz4 in same directory as initrd1.xz
Open a terminal in directory where initrd1.xz is located and run the following:
To extract the initrd.lz4 (maybe you need to do later), something like:
Open a terminal in directory where initrd.lz4 is located
Not sure if initrd.lz4 will boot, did not test that.

xz -dc ../initrd1.xz | cpio -i # extract ../initrd1.xz
find | cpio -o -H newc | lz4 -l > ../initrd.lz4 # make new ../initrd.lz4

mkdir extract-initrd-lz4
cd extract-initrd-lz4
lz4 -dc ../initrd.lz4 | cpio -id

I now tested and boots fine, I thought already that the kernel supports lz4, but wasn't 100% sure, probably you did something wrong, just try again and check if everything is correct.
Did you rename in your menu.lst (or whatever) initrd1.xz to initrd.lz4 ? Name correct ? (is it initrd1.lz4 or initrd.lz4)
EDIT: Btw, note that you get only a little bit faster boot with initrd.lz4, do not expect that the system will run faster.
