You may use UPX to compress large binary files like busybox. This works fine on my Fonera

how can i use UPX to compress large binary files.
sorry, i am a newbie.
thanks!

copy the binary from the wrt device to your computer, now run upx FILENMAE and copy the binary file back. But just compress package files and not image files, as they are on the read only partition and you just would waste some space (this means compressing busybox as I said in my previous post would be a stupid idea!).

cheers
