arkaine23,
you are almost correct. cloop.o is needed in miniroot.gz
but cloop.ko is needed for modprobe ;when you compile cloop-2.01
it automatically gives create_compressed_fs and extract_compressed_fs;copy them all (cloop.o,cloop.ko,cloop.mod.ko,create_compressed_f s,extract_compressed_fs)
to /lib/modules/version_kernel/misc for people doing remastering.The cloop_src got from :
linuxtag.developer_knopper_src, alekstreme_morphix,and
linuxkid_peanut-9.6_ibibliosite .All are ok!
Of course,cloop as well as insmod should be compiled for each kernel version
To reduce the kernel_src size rmove in include,documentation...
all /arch/...other than i386!
