you'd have to manually mount the cd and boot to it.
so you'd need to modify the knoppix boot floppies.
someone else wanted to boot of something additional, I don't recall he made it.
I've not done it, but if the floppy command file is readable, you should be able to modify it
depending on your newbie status and linux ability.
