Yes. For the VSA you just mailed:

Size  File
71926 olpc_vsa.bin
42139 olpc_vsa.bin.nrv
37517 olpc_vsa.bin.lzma

Ron, I'll mail you a patch for lzma support very soon. Just working
out the final bits to make it perfect. Can I submit a patch against
revision 2312 or do you have more in the queue?

Carl-Daniel
