He posted to the Knoppix developer mailing list: http://mailman.linuxtag.org/pipermai...ry/001879.html
"When all is set up correctly (see make init)
its about just calling "make iso" or "make rw" to master or
burn a complete remastered CD-RW... you may have a
preconfigured, adapted, autohardwareconfiguring standard Debian system
within the "linuxroot" dir (it should also work with any other
distribution). The idea with translucency is that on bootup the ram-disk(tmpfs on /tmp) is initially empty (consuming no memory) but that you can change any file as usual on the system"

So, as it seems to me, the "make"-script burns a knoppixlike CD which has the function we want! Too bad I have no Linux machine with a burner
