Yes,
since yesterday ;-) there is:
It is still experimental and won't install X:
Second: I won't take any warranty for any damage caused by this scripts. Use
them with caution on your own risk.
- Download all files in http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/debian/knoppify/
- Extract the templates in the same dir
- Make a new partition say /dev/hda8 (at least 6 GB should do), mount it to
say mount /dev/hda8 /mnt/hda8 and debootstrap a basic debian to it
(debootstrap sarge /mnt/hda8), run base-config
- Change templates/ files to suit your needs (resolv.conf, fstab,
sources.list)
- Run ./knoppify.sh /mnt/hda8
- Download master.iso from
http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/debian/sarge-live-base/master.iso
- mount -o loop master.iso /mnt
- mkdir /mnt/hda8/KNOPPIX.build/master
- cp -a /mnt/* /mnt/hda8/KNOPPIX.build/master/
- umount /mnt
Now chroot into /mnt/hda8
Do:
/KNOPPIX.build/Knoppix-3.4.mkcompressed /KNOPPIX.build/master
(this are in fact Klaus' scripts)
The command will create /mnt/hda8/KNOPPIX.build/master.iso.
To install X do:
apt-get install x-window-system-core xsession-initscript-knoppix
xsession-knoppix rxvt-beta locales twm
useradd knoppix
(remove passwords from /etc/shadow again, or leave it: your decision)
Change /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45xsession to include:
set -x
set +e
(You could also install the knoppix specific profile files)
as first commands to turn off "quit on error" and turn on debugging which you
can see in /home/knoppix/.xsession-errors.
I did this sucessfully this night. ;-)
We (me and Danix.cz developers) hope that we can create modules and scripts
for X as well to make setup of your own basic live CD even easier.
Also of course there are still scripts missing to create the miniroot.

PS: To unknoppify the system for an installation or similar, just do:
cp -af /etc/inittab.debian /etc/inittab
done.
Very worthwhile to read the entire thread:
http://mailman.linuxtag.org/pipermail/debian-knoppix/2004-July/005534.html
It's promising although I've not yet had a chance to try it myself. Please post with any results if you do. :)
