    Following up on kl522's suggestion concerning sparse-files, I can report that
    this seems to be a very useful wrinkle on the re-mastering scene.

    Here's the magic combination that worked for me:
    (replace the first line with the second in the Forester/Capricorny setup workspace stanza)
    # sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=${workdir}/knoppix-remaster-data.img bs=1M count=$psize
    dd if=/dev/zero of=${workdir}/knoppix-remaster-data.img bs=1 count=0 seek=${wrkspc_sz}

    With the input command,
    ./rem_05.sh /media/sdc1 15G /media/sdc1/KNOPPIX670&
    the time to prepare a 15 Gb workspace went from 10 minutes to 40 seconds.

    In addition to kl522's suggestion, the following site was helpful:

    I don't know if it was essential, but I installed ntfs-3g just in case.
    Synaptic wouldn't help, but 'apt-get install ntfs-3g' did the job.

    ... is there any advantage to use ntfs-3g instead of ntfs-3g-ng, which is already installed within Knoppix?

    I'm not sure either is needed, but some of the literature made me think that sparse-files required ntfs-3g.
    A little later, if some pro doesn't answer the question, I'll remove it and we'll see what happens.

    My immediate concern is revising the 'what's in' vs 'what's out' menu to suit my needs.

    I do think kl522's suggestion is a powerful improvement in things.

    Haha I did not know ntfs-3g-ng is still on Knoppix because I have removed it from my system since sometime ago.

    When I check Knoppix 6.7, true enough ntfs-3g-ng is still there.

    Please file a bug report with K Klaus. ntfs-3g-ng should not be there, it is an old thing which haven't changed since 2009. If you bring up synaptic it will show 'ntfs-3g-ng' as 'local or obsolete' or 'manual', because it could not be found in any of the current repositories. Whereas ntfs-3g is currently still an actively maintained piece of code.

    @ Werner

    ntfs-3g-ng is not on my cd-based Knoppix 6.7 Synaptic LiveUSB.

    @ anyone

    When I try to quiet down the command 'create_compressed_fs' by adding '-q' to its options,
    without the quote marks, of course,
    I get a program crash. All I want to do is turn off a lot of unnecessary output.
    Any useful suggestions in this regard?

    ... but it is on Knoppix 6.7.0 CD- an DVD-version.

    While at it, I went ahead to check the static version of ntfs-3g contained inside minirt.gz from Knoppix 6.7. To my surprise, it is yet even older. There is no version date information but based on the usage output, I am guessing the copy of ntfs-3g was created 2007 !

    ntfs-3g-ng IS on my 6.7 cd, but not on my LiveUSB.
    I probably would not have gone to apt for ntfs-3g if -ng showed up in Synaptic.

    Anyway, as I understand it, if I want ntfs, I probably want ntfs-3g.

    I'm still having trouble getting all my stuff rounded up to be included in the
    re-master. Only a few piddly /etc contributions made the move so far.
    I have stuff in what seems to be (as mounted in LiveUSB) /home/knoppix/Desktop/KNOPPIX that just isn't transferring. So when I DONT exclude /home, I'm surprised
    it gets lost.

    I notice a lot of the re-mastering literature that Google dredges up is quite old.
    Here, I thought we were on the cutting edge.

    I am not surprised. I believe /home/knoppix/Desktop/KNOPPIX in the default configuration, is a symbolic link to /mnt-system. We will have to go back to look at how the scripts do the copying. Likely it is copying it as SYMBOLIC link, which means the actual files it points to are NOT copied.

    You should either destroy the symbolic link and make it as hard links, or you could after you performed the remaster, copy the old /mnt-system/* to your new /mnt-system.

    The scripts written made no such provision for this "Knoppix-ish" behavour. Perhaps someone interested to modify the scripts could make further enhancements to make special provision for this.

    It's a smaller glitch I would say. But it is a rather important to be able to handle this, as this is a "Knoppix-ish" behaviour.
