You can find some instructions on using fromiso with Kanotix on the kanotix forum. The quick version is use "fromhd=/dev/hdXN fromiso=path/to/K*FIX2.ISO" (for the latest FIX2 version of Kanotix) or even quicker just put the iso onto any vfat/ntfs/etx[2|3]/resiser[3|4] partition in a directory called KNOPPIX with the iso named KNOPPIX.ISO and just use "fromiso" (avoids you having to know how Linux names your partitions).

I have written a similar patch for the linuxrc in Knoppix (with some help from Fabian creating a truly minimal losetup) and sent it to the developers mailing list. It was probably too late for inclusion in 3.7 and I haven't heard anything back yet. It is worth noting that (as this thread has demonstrated) you can simply use a modified initrd with the original iso so we could maintain initrd's for knoppix even if the official cd itself does not contain the required initrd.
