Initial compressed cache size can only be set by kernel parameter
now. During your uptime, you can set compressed cache size by echoing
a new value to the file 

/proc/sys/vm/comp_cache/size

In both cases, the parameter is the number of memory pages (4096 bytes
on i386). I want to make it soon similar to "mem=" kernel parameter
where you can have the input as megabytes instead of memory pages.

Note: there's no way to set the compressed cache size in kernel
compilation process anymore.

I updated yesterday some installation instruction on our main page[1],
so take a look at the "How to apply the Patches" section. If you still
have troubles, please send us an email.
