remastering problem(always KILLED while doing iso9660 image)

[acaro]

I´m trying to do my own remastering cd but i´m having the same stupid problem all the time.

Everything works fine until i get to the part where i try to make the iso image.

I follow all the steps described int the RemasteringHowTo doc and
when i do....

code:
mkisofs -R -U -V "KNOPPIX.net filesystem" -P "KNOPPIX www.knoppix.net" -hide-rr-moved -cache-inodes -no-bak -pad /mnt/hda1/knx/source/KNOPPIX | nice -5 /usr/bin/create_compressed_fs - 65536 > /mnt/hda1/knx/master/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX

.... I always get KILLED, at some part of the process.
What am i doing wrong? what´s the possible cause for this...
Anyone got an idea....

Do you have at least 1GB RAM. ie., 256MB physical memory + 768MB swap?

[acaro]

no, i don´t, because i´m not using my own pc, i´m doing it at school.
Could that be the cause?

Yes, you need a lot of space for that.

If ya look in the official instructions it tells ya how to make a swapfile - i only have 512MB RAM - the same problem occured when i forgot to set the swapfile as a swap partion

if ya do this wenever you go to make the image it will work fine all the way through

so use a swapfile instead of a swap partition

I am having a similar issue. My PC has 192MB RAM and I created a 2GB swap file, not a swap partition and the mkisofs is being KILLED at 34% of completion. What do I need to do to get this working?

Thanks.

Make sure all of your swap/ram/memory is active:
/bin/free -m
