    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?
    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.
