Hi! I was taking a look at this bug (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=164015).
There is a compressloop utility at http://projects.openoffice.nl/downloads/compressloop/ from Paul `Rusty' Russell, based on the work of Klaus. It's released under GPL. It works perfectly (I use it), can be used with pipe, for example: mkisofs (options_go_here) | compressloop64n -b 65536 -c 9 - KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX And also doesn't needs to allocate a big amount of memory to work. I have a work machine with 1GB of RAM and even on that machine I found create_compressed_fs a little slow and taking too much RAM. I found compressloop a good alternative. Is it there a special reason to use create_compressed_fs? Maybe something that create_compressed_fs is able to do and other solutions are not. Sorry for bringing up old questions like this. Thank you very much! Nelson
