3) Burn bootable CD using "boot-en.img" as the boot image data

Runs beautifully

What did you do with the 'knx_copy_home' file?

Since I boot with the floppy, shouldn't these files go on my boot floppy?

Or does Knoppix prefer to grab these files from the CD/Knoppix <directory>?

Hedging my bets, would it work putting them on both boot floppy and CD?
You are right, again!

All the files from the package should stay together either:
- on a floppy disc. If you put them there, you will need the "floppyconf" boot parameter
or
- inside the /KNOPPIX-directory on the CD. This way you don't need any parameter since KNOPPIX will use the knoppix.sh automatically, if it finds it there. This is the easiest solution as rob stated: No disc, no parameter, best performance.

The "copyhome" thing is just an option, so you can use PH as a kind of permanent preset without having your home directory persistent. Hence the name: it copies your settings to your home directory which is still on the ramdisk.
