Yo! I am trying to remaster Knoppix 3.6 using KnoppixRemasteringHowTo manual.
Everything works fine until I am trying to create the compressed filesystem. The prozess suddenly interrups and dops me back to the root terminal. I see only a "Killed" message after those block compression ratios. I allready tried it 2 times. First time it interrupted at 37%. Just now at 36%. HELP!!

OK no reason to help me anymore. I fixed the problem by adding more SWAP.

Try this program:
http://quozl.linux.org.au/compressloop-1.9-64bit.c

to compile it use:
gcc -o compressloop compressloop-1.9-64bit.c /usr/lib/libz.a

This program doesn't use the memory to store the file before the writing on disk, so I think that it is quicker and doesn't freeze the pc.

I'm trying to modify it to allow compressed files bigger than 2GB!
