It seems like I'm having trouble getting the size of the compressed filesystem down to what it should be. For instance, when I try to compress the files from Damn Small Linux, they turn out to be almost a megabyte larger than the original compressed filesystem was. That is without adding, subtracting, or modifying any of them.

I used the instructions from the KNOPPIX Remastering Howto as posted on this forum awhile back.

What am I doing wrong?
