Try installing it to your H.D.; it's Debian SiD (still in development), the LEETEST version.

yeah, i've tried it.  it makes an excellent rescue disk too!  I used it to move all my stuff from my old slack partition to the windows partition, wipe the slack partition, and recreate it with reiserfs, then performed the reinstall by mounting the cd iso on the loopback device.... worked great!  Other than that, the delay was a little too long to make it work smoothly; i have an old 8x cd-reader....

Yes, it IS possible to customize Knoppix; go to the LinuxTag forum (it's in German, but there's an English page).  These guys have ALL KINDS of idea on how to streamline Knoppix, and they're willing to share.  I haven't had time to play around with their ideas, but they make sense.  The biggest thing would be removing all the app's you don't need or want; if you don't have a digital camera, why would you want an application that only allows you to use a digital camera?  By expanding the Knoppix ISO to a Linux partition, you can remove (or add) applications.  That's a pretty simplified explanation, but basically, that's what you do, and then you compress the applications, and create a new ISO and burn it; VOILA! a customized Knoppix.
BTW: I'm using Knoppix on my main box and my server; it auto-configured my LAN; WAY cool!!
