Has anyone created a minimal 7.0.5? Willing to share?

Too many packages are removed, and worse still, reinstalling the dysfunctional programs doesn't always fix the problems. I have still not been able to get konqueror up and running, even with no extensive purging of KDE packages. This is a new problem, the same methods have worked fine on earlier Knoppix releases. It is also quite frustrating to have a system that seems to work well, but then suddenly something is broken, and the standard ways to fix it don't work. So, if KK would leave about a GB worth of space on the DVD (about the size of installed games), it would be very helpful to us who need to remaster to accomodate large extra installs. Purging used to be a safe and nice thing to do, I can't say it is anymore.
I am one of those who have tried to pare Knoppix down to a minimal size, in order to then construct a customized, modular Knoppix using the ramdisk KNOPPIX 2-9 method. I might suggest, that a minimal Knoppix need only be created once and that anyone who has such a beast made from 7.0.5 and would share it would probably have the undying gratitude of those of us who are struggling with this.
Along this line, is it possible to include the 64 bit kernel with the cd version in order to boot into 64-bit or are there other components necessary? Is it as simple as copying over the kernel file from the DVD? Creating a minimal version might be easier, starting from the smaller footprint cd, but no 64-bit is a non-starter for me.
I appreciate any and all insights into this.
