Adding SquashFS support to Ubuntu 10.04 EC2 AMI

Question

I am using Ubuntu provided EC2 AMI for Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 LTS 64-bit and it doesn't come with support for SquashFS built in.

Is there a way to add support, so I can mount a SquashFS filesystem?

Answer 1

hmmm ...

u1@ubuntu:~$ apt-cache search squashfs
squashfs-tools - Tool to create and append to squashfs filesystems

a simple "sudo apt-get install squashfs-tools" should do the trick I think :-)
