bzip2? It will compress things very well. Even a relatively large
image will compress by a large factor. Most of each image will be
either empty disk space (huge compression factor), or things like
binaries (about a 2x compresion factor).
Use the "best" compression method (-9) to get the largest compression
factor.
Best,
Kyle
