1) Yes, the minirt is what initially loads into your root directory, IE your "/" directory. The minirt24.gz is not a cloop file. It is an ordinary loop file, if i remember correctly.
2) The knoppix file contains the rest of the system (except bootloader, kernel and miniroot). This is a compressed loop filesystem. It is NOT loaded into the ram drive, but is read directly from the livecd unless you boot with the "toram" parameter. However, there are symlinks in the RAMdisk that point back to these files. Because the knoppix filesystem is read-only, it is not possible to change any of these files unless you remaster the livecd and rebuild the knoppix file. However, it is possible to insert new / different files into the ramdisk temporarily, which is what the *.dsl myDSL extensions provide.
