Re: zipped ISO in addition to gz?

[Sunnz <sunnzy@xxxxxxxxx>]

You don't really need "the gzip" client, as in, "GNU Zip client" for
Windows to uncompress gzip, programs like WinRAR and 7zip are usually
fine for Windows, 7zip for example is free and open source and just a
very small download... well if you can download an ISO, you surely can
download 7zip.
