+Now, depending on the kernel version you want to use you need different versions
+of squashfs-tools/squashfs-lzma-tools[4]. Yes, that's a mess (don't ask how much
+this sucks for us developers) - though we're putting lots of effort into our
+toolchain to automatically handle this for you through the grml-live build
+system and provide proper documentation. The situation is supposed to calm down
+with the recent integration of the squashfs file format 4 in the mainline
+kernel. Support for LZMA is pending and as soon as it's available mainline this
+should dramatically simplify the situation for developers as well as users.
+
+[TIP]
+If you want to force usage of a specific mksquashfs binary just set the
+SQUASHFS_BINARY configuration/environment variable. Set SQUASHFS_OPTIONS for
+customizing the options that should be used by the mksquashfs binary during
+build process.
+
+Using squashfs-lzma-tools4 4.0-1 on the build system
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+squashfs-lzma-tools4 4.0-1 is available via the Grml repositories. It provides
+the mksquashfs-lzma4 and unsquashfs-lzma4 binaries. The package does NOT
+conflict with neither Debian's squashfs-tools package nor Grml's
+squashfs-lzma-tools package, so you can install all of them at the same time and
+the build system will try to figure out the best matching binary automatically
+for you.
+
+The packages can be downloaded from
+link:http://deb.grml.org/pool/main/s/squashfs-lzma-tools4/[http://deb.grml.org/pool/main/s/squashfs-lzma-tools4/]
+
+It provides support for the new squashfs file format version 4 (as available in
+mainline, so *not* the one being used by squashfs-lzma-tools and kernel
+2.6.33-grml) and therefore requires kernel versions starting with
+2.6.35-grml[64]. It supports LZMA as well as ZLIB compression. Just use the
+defaults for enabling LZMA or use grml-live's '-z' option if you want to use
+ZLIB compression instead.
+
+* Kernel 2.6.31-grml[64]: works with ZLIB compression, fails with LZMA
+* Kernel 2.6.33-grml[64]: works with ZLIB compression, fails with LZMA
+* Kernel 2.6.35-grml[64]: works with ZLIB *and* LZMA compression
+* Kernel 2.6.36-grml[64]: works with ZLIB *and* LZMA compression
