du -hs /mnt-system/KNOPPIX is 1.9 Gb;
sudo du -hs /UNIONFS is 2.1 Gb
6 Gb is more than I would care to devote to the cause.
I don't need a new KNOPPIX (the condensed file), remember,
just a small tar.gz, all the other processes are already in place.
I guess my 'USP' is that I don't want to have to go off-line to
service the system. I'd like to have some menu commands and/or
cheatcodes that I could manage within what appears to be the
present desktop.
Can't we break my processes (not the re-mastering processes)
down to a few menu choices & cheatcodes?
Such as...
0...Make a copy of the current knoppix-data.img somewhere,
in case we need it later;
1...Make a tar.gz version of the current goodies in knoppix-data.img
and store this tar.gz file in the same directory as the
unmodified compressed KNOPPIX file;
2...Zero out the curreny knoppix-data.img;
On reboot...what I hope will then will happen is that
Knoppix will expand and merge the new tar.gz file, then
ask if we want to (Re-) establish a persistent store, using its
normal process to compute available space and then go ahead
and establish a new (smaller and empty) knoppix-data.img
The overhead here is a few new bash commands in an init (or two)
somewhere. Might even save a few bites rather than be an overhead.
