Indeed.

Paul,

first, well-spotted that ext4 is inappropriate for such old kernels
- I had completely overlooked that.

But a 2.6 kernel (if that is what that old knoppix version is
offering) should support ext3.  A quick look at wikipedia (as
always, "it might be accurate, or else someone with an agenda might
have updated it") suggests that ext3 was mainlined in 2.4.15.

My memory suggests that it was initially marked as unstable, but I
think I was using it when I first came to LFS (apparently around
March 2002, at least that is the earliest post I can find although I
think that was for my second build - on the first I didn't use
scripts).
