Unless I'm mistaken, the KnoppixCustomKernelHowTo addresses these issues:

Right but that howto needs a liitle bit of detail. For instance the miniroot file which is 3mb. What am I going to modify there? And how to recompile the cloop.o module?

what you are going to modify depends on your need but most likley /linuxrc on that FS. If you don't have special needs, you don't need to modify anything. just copy cloop.o to /modules/cloop.o on that FS.

You have to recompile cloop for new kernel. Just download the cloop source package and follow the instructions.

I have a question for garyng:

can cloop.o be re-use to add another compressed volume besides the one on the CDROM?
:idea: it would help to switch between the CDROM and perhaps other compressed images on hard disk.

With cloop 1.x, yes. Klaus has kindly added this feature since 1.x.
