[GRASSLIST:368] Import jpg with r.in.gdal size problem

[Silvia Franceschi]

Hi everyone,
I have imported some jpg files (230 orthophoto of my region) in GRASS using 
the command r.in.gdal. The original size of the data is about 3-5 MB with a 
text file of about 150 B. When I import the data in GRASS I obtain files of 
75-100 MB and that means too much space to disk.
Do someone know if there is a way to compress them? Now I have a location of 
15 GB and I can't manage it. 

Please help me...

Thanks,
Silvia
