The only files changed in my master build (after mkisofs) are:

/boot/isolinux/boot.cat
/boot/isolinux/boot.msg
/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX
/KNOPPIX/sha1sums

I know that the KNOPPIX compressed image is the big one but the other files are intact.

I did a diff between my source folder after modifications I made (e.g. apt-get xxx) and my source is ~100MB larger after my modifications. Looks like some of the packages I removed actually added some stuff.

So, is there a size limit for the KNOPPIX compressed image?

Also, to your earlier question, the filesystem I'm working on is a EXT2/3.

Thanks,
