The deb package step is not for KK, but for sharing with other Knoppix users/modifiers. A common problem with all the Knoppix derivatives, is updating. Implementing the modifications as a series of deb packages, and updating those as needed, allows for simple updating of the modified versions with new Knx releases.

As for a workable minimal Knx also suited for 64 bits, I think the CD version plus a few tools may come rather close. A cloop/squashfs image of size 1-1.5 GB should suffice today, I think.
