Reply With QuoteI am not an expert on this and would also like to know the answer. But I remember reading somewhere that the experts use some sort of system that orders the files on the disk in the most efficient way.
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?

I have read that, but from what I understand that deals with the access time of the disc, not the size of the filesystem itself.
