The KNOPPIX_xxx.iso is already a cd filesystem image, prepared to be
burnt directly onto a cd, so you have to skip the filesystem image creation
stage. Whatever features are necessary for booting are already included in
the image file.
Under linux, something like:
cdrecord dev=0,0,0 speed=4 -v -dao -data KNOPPIX_xxx.iso
should work without problems (has always worked for me).
The dev= numbers can be obtained by running 'cdrecord -scanbus', and the
speed= should be adjusted to your drive's capabilities.
