Yes, there is many ways to do it, and this is my suggestion (i used for my knoppix bootable PQI 1GB USB dongle):
You first need to make your usb dongle DOS bootable using HPUSBFW.EXE (it will reformat your USB dongle)
Then, copy the grub.exe file (dos version of grub) which start knoppix by loading the kernel and initrd_ntfs files.
Then the modified linuxrc script of the initrd_ntfs will load the rest of the system from the knoppix ISO file.
Looks like complicated, but all this is automated and will boot straight into knoppix from the bios menu...
All the required file can be found in this forum: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11796
In particular you will find the HPUSBFW.EXE file (only works on XP)
in this zip file: http://s119307663.onlinehome.us/grube.zip
Hope this helps,
Gilles
