install knoppix 6.2 in a cf-card

Haha your listing revealed a big misunderstand on your part. You are confused with the concept and terminology. You are overkilling yourself by keeping your knoppix-data.img small, 250M. Your flash is 2G, as we know, is considered small in this context, but you are making it worse by not able to fully utilizing your 2G because your knoppix-data.img is small, ie you are almost like having a 1 G flash, even though you have 2 G. Currently you have closed to 1G of empty space, but not useable by KNOPPIX.


Please expand your knoppix-data.img as big as possible as I mentioned earlier.

YES!
And I think it is just asking for trouble to count on the effective volume used in RAM will shrink enough before getting written to disk. Remember, persistent storage is NOT compressed, it is an ordinary loop-mount of a filesystem image,and one should really use the same ca 95% filling discipline as is often enforced in ordinary fs mounting. For that reason, 1GB is, I think, the bare minimum to use Knoppix for serious work, installing some extra programs etc.
