Is there any highly compressed filesystems [like squashfs] supported directedly by FreeBSD?

I think you want mkuzip (and geom_uzip)  have a read on man mkuzip and
see what you think. Not sure how good the compression is though. Might
be worth talking to the freesbie people (http://www.freesbie.org/) as i
think they may use this and they're the FreeBSD liveCD experts ;)
