grml [the linux-distribution] – going on…

Running mkisofs and create_compressed_fs resulted in

[ 9] Block# 22409 size  65536 ->  63066 [compression ratio  96%, overall:  36%]
Getötet

Huh?! Ok, give it another try:

[ 9] Block# 22470 size  65536 ->  45476 [compression ratio  69%, overall:  36%]
Getoetet

So not a problem of grml but running out of swap *dang*. Running mkisofs and create_compressed_fs takes for about 30 minutes on my laptop. ;-( But adding an additional swapfile solved the problem and see yourselve:

# cat /etc/grml_version
0.02 alpha release [2004-09-02]

And it works. Of course there’s a lot of work todo so I’m still working in the chroot for getting closer to a first release of grml.

Reminder: please report wishes of software/packages/stuff you would like to see in grml.
