the idea
i was looking on the net to find an pre-remastered KNOPPIX [1] version for my purpose:
to get my web project on an live CD.
i don't use KNOPPIX as it is intended to be: as an linux live CD with a lot of software on it.
i use it to make my web project distributable and as a preservation strategy.
you burn the CD now with your project, the OS and necessary software on it.
an x86 emulator will run it in 20 years.
so i striped away all unwanted software to gain as much space as possible.
i also get ride of kde - the only window manager is icewm.
so don't forget to type on startup: knoppix desktop=icewm
to put your project on it you have to remaster the iso yourself.
there are many remaster how-to on the net.[2-6]

the result
iso
download the latest lamp_knopppix_raw.iso [1] its 200MB in Size actually.
there is a list of all packages on lamp_knoppix_raw [2]
i made a perl script (knx_purge.pl)
to purge the unused packages on KNOPPIX:
i was able to do it without broken packages and
unresolved dependencies. but i'm sure there are more
unnecessary packages to remove.
please email me any comment and corrections.
i added nano [3], my favourite text editor
everything else is exactly like on the original KNOPPIX
the scripts i used and some documentation is ready to download [4-7]
