Would it really be enough to tweak minirt.gz for Knoppix - because support is integrated otherwise?
Since I am not the author I could only ***SPECULATE*** why this is not supported. For the author, it is trial to change minirt.gz to support ext4 and yet it is not supported probably :-

1. The author does not believe in ext4, thinking it might be unsafe.
( Well, this is unlikely to be true because even the much more dangerous configuration of poor-man install on NTFS is at the least "installable" ).

2. The code for support for various file system has long been written and nobody has provided the feedback for the need for ext4 or rather, the author is distant enough to be able to hear about the need for ext4 from anyone yet.
( This is highly likely because of the way KNOPPIX development has been taking it's course all the years - a solo project ).
