There already is one. It's the second CD of the set. It's not as flashy as 
Knoppix, but it works. FreeBSD has had this for a long time. Many Linux 
distros have had one as well.

Knoppix is intended (I believe) as a demonstration CD, rather than a reference 
filesystem or rescue CD. Thus it has a lot of extra hardware detection and 
stuff like that. But it isn't significantly different from other live CDs.
