It's Knoppix-specific kernel module, you won't find it in (non live-cd)
distribution, I'm afraid. It's not useful except for specific way of
using live CD/DVD, and SL uses different technology for live media, so
cloop was never needed.

However Knoppix distributes that module under free license with
instructions to compile it. You have to understand what you're doing to
follow these instructions, though, as they aren't precise. Just in case,
you'll need kernel-devel package (besides normal development tools) to
compile a kernel module under SL.

Latest version of module is at
http://debian-knoppix.alioth.debian.org/packages/cloop/
