We haven't written one, yet.

Yes.

It should be as easy as:

mkdir /mnt/hdaX/master/
cp -a /cdrom/* /mnt/hdaX/master

SORT=""
mkisofs -input-charset ISO-8859-15 -R -U $SORT \
	-no-split-symlink-components -no-split-symlink-fields \
	-V "KNOPPIX_FS" \
	-publisher "Fabian Franz" \
	-p "www.fabian-franz.de" \
	-hide-rr-moved -cache-inodes -no-bak -pad \
	-m /proc/\* -m /sys/\* -m /mnt/\* -m /home/\* -m /root/\* / | 
create_compressed_fs - 65536 > /mnt/hdaX/master/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX

After you have done your changes. Then use the normal way from the Knoppix 
remasteringHowTo or just:

DEST=/mnt/hdaX/master/
rm -f /tmp/knoppix.sort
echo "$DEST/boot/isolinux/* 111111"      >/tmp/knoppix.sort
echo "$DEST/ct/* -10000"               >>/tmp/knoppix.sort
echo "$DEST/LinuxTag/* -10000"         >>/tmp/knoppix.sort
echo "$DEST/LinuxTag/Song/* -10000"    >>/tmp/knoppix.sort
echo "$DEST/Demos/Audio/*.mp3 -10000"  >>/tmp/knoppix.sort
echo "$DEST/Demos/Audio/*.ogg -10000"  >>/tmp/knoppix.sort

mkisofs -input-charset ISO-8859-15 -pad -l -R -U -J \
	-sort /tmp/knoppix.sort \
        -V 'KNOPPIX' -A 'KNOPPIX LIVE LINUX CD' \
        -P "Fabian Franz" \
        -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -b 
boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin -c boot/isolinux/boot.cat \
        -hide-rr-moved \
        -o "myiso.iso" "$DEST"

Note you should recreate md5sums first, but this should be explained in above 
docs.
