Big Size with Remastering

[vispo]

Hello,
first of all its my first time trying to remaster a knoppix CD.
So i started with the how-to and created some shell scripts to easy my pain.
They seem to work well.
But when the CD image is created i get a 1GB cd (1119MB approx.)
Much bigger than with what i started.

So i looked up what could go wrong.
apt-get install is giving me about 114MB of additional space required for the new installed packages.
and
apt-get remove openoffice* sun-java5-demo frees about 400MB

So plenty inoff for my new programms but it seems not....
From where this could come it's a too huge discrepancy between the values.
I don't have a clue what i can try to do next.
Maybe you have an idea what creates this size difference from 700 to 1.1G?
is it apt-get?
Best Regards
Vispo

P.s.: here is my standart approach with scripts (don't tell me they are ugly i know it i just made them in 5min or less)
1. i open up a root console
2. i execute this script

mount -t ext3 -o rw /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1
rm -rf /media/hdb1/knxmaster
rm -rf /media/hdb1/knxsource
mkdir /media/hdb1/knxmaster
mkdir /media/hdb1/knxsource
mkdir /media/hdb1/knxmaster/KNOPPIX
mkdir /media/hdb1/knxsource/KNOPPIX
cp -Rp /KNOPPIX/* /media/hdb1/knxsource/KNOPPIX
cp /cdrom/index.html /media/hdb1/knxmaster/
cp -p /cdrom/cdrom.ico /cdrom/autorun.* /media/hdb1/knxmaster/
cp -rp /cdrom/boot/ /media/hdb1/knxmaster/
cp -Rp /cdrom/KNOPPIX/* /media/hdb1/knxmaster/KNOPPIX/
cp Desktop/*.sh /media/hdb1/knxsource/KNOPPIX/
cd /media/hdb1/knxmaster/KNOPPIX/
rm KNOPPIX*
chroot /media/hdb1/knxsource/KNOPPIX

3. then i start this one:

# Activate network and check it
echo "nameserver 192.168.1.1" > /etc/resolv.conf
mount -t proc /proc proc
/proc proc

# Get a list
apt-get update

#Programms to remove
# freed 401MB
apt-get remove sun-java5-demo openoffice*

# Remove orphan packages
deborphan | xargs sudo apt-get -y remove --purge
# autoclean packages
apt-get autoclean
apt-get clean

rm .bash_history
rm -rf /tmp/*
rm -rf /.rr_moved

4. i make a dpkg-reconfigure locales
5. localepurge
6. i execute within a new root console this script

# Cloop iso9660
mkisofs -R -U -V "KNOPPIX.net filesystem" --publisher "Vispo" -hide-rr-moved -cache-inodes -no-bak -pad /media/hdb1/knxsource/KNOPPIX | nice -5 /usr/bin/create_compressed_fs - 65536 > /media/hdb1/knxmaster/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX

cd /media/hdb1/knxmaster
rm -f KNOPPIX/md5sums; find -type f -not -name md5sums -not -name boot.cat -exec md5sum {} \; >> KNOPPIX/md5sums

There was some previous discussion of this issue in this thread :
http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtop...er=asc&start=0
http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtop...r=asc&start=10
unfortunately I have not seen a definitive explanation (as distinct from partial palliatives) anywhere yet

Did you "umount /proc" before exiting the chroot?
