I've put the tool on the web now:

Yes the source was attached, you can just save the attachment.

You have to download the knoppix image yourself and save it to harddisk.
Then you need a running Linux system (the idea is that the tool later
will also run under windows so that you can customize knoppix without
having linux). Build knoppix-customize and run it. You can extract
syslinux.cfg from the image edit it as a ocal file (don't change the
size) and copy the file back into the image.

I treied to write the program as portable as possible but I haven't
compiled it under Windows yet. It is tested under Linux.

The file size will not change as knoppix-customize will only replace
files with files of the same size.

See previous answer. The boot floppy is in the uncompressed part of the
image.

At the moment it will run in text-mode only. It is planned to provide a
GUI.

Yes the image remains a normal ISO image.
