    make 32+ loop devices by default - I often run out!

    If I understand this, once I boot to any .iso, I can't add any more.

    (modprobe loop max_loop=32 needs NO loops in use IIRC)

    (edit MAKEDEV
    for part in `seq 0 63` do
    makedev loop$part ...
    won't help w/o modprobe IIRC)

    For Knoppix 6 the fix is easy:
    edit the boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg file: (see remaster faq?)
    to each line with APPEND ramdisk_size=...
    add at the end
    max_loop=64
    after booting you have to
    sudo su
    cd /dev
    for (( i=8; i<64; i++))
    do
    mknod loop$i b 7 $i
    done
