Currently you have closed to 1G of empty space, but not useable by KNOPPIX.


Please expand your knoppix-data.img as big as possible as I mentioned earlier.
YES!
And I think it is just asking for trouble to count on the effective volume used in RAM will shrink enough before getting written to disk. Remember, persistent storage is NOT compressed, it is an ordinary loop-mount of a filesystem image,and one should really use the same ca 95% filling discipline as is often enforced in ordinary fs mounting. For that reason, 1GB is, I think, the bare minimum to use Knoppix for serious work, installing some extra programs etc.
