If you use the minirt_usb4.gz instead of the official minirt.gz boot ramdisk,
you will be able to use the ramdisk=xxx kernel cheatcode to force the ramdisk size to match your needs,
xxx being the size in Kilobytes. If you want to make a new ISO file using the official KNOPPIX file
please be aware that you will have to use grub instead of isolinux as the CD bootloader, cf:

Hope this helps,
