    A CD that have more than 650MB ?
    It depends, what kind of data you mind.
    For exemple, a NetBSD CD with a lot of port release
    just for a specific local network with a lot
    of different arch...
    Well you know, tar.gz is difficult to compress
    anymore.

    Anyway, I remember that I used to compress my 120MB
    hard drive with my small Amiga 1200 a "few" years ago
    with a software called EPU (AmigaOS)
    it did what you are asking for: a compressed file system
    but I remember also that lha archive-files (that is
    somehow the native archive-file format on AmigaOS, using
    Huffman-like compression) did not get compressed a lot
    even when using XPK's NUKE compressor, that was the best.
