dslremaster and rja.
Yes I think you need a bigger swap-file to make a sucessfull remaster and you don't need it anymore after that, although it is good to have some swap if you can spare room for it. I didn't have any swap-partition on my computer until the other night when I was going to make the remaster in question. I have been working with movies and all space I had was needed for a while. Nevertheless I have been using DSL everyday even without swap and haven't had any problem in the daily use. To be honest I just recently discovered that a swap-partition is indeed needed to make a remaster. I have had just the same results that you described with the compressed file being smaller than it should etc. So a temporarily bigger swap-partition would most probably make your remaster a successful one.
Now rja when it comes to filesystems we are now talking of making a reamster totally in the RAM-memory (with a swap-partition) and not on a harddrive. If you want to make a remaster on the harddrive you should use ext2-filesystem. If you go back a little in this thread you will find a HOWTO describing the process. OK, that's all for now!
Have fun with this remarcably interesting distro,

P.S. When I feel up to it and have the possibility I might go a little further into the matter D.S.
