Thanks, already fixed for 5.1. :-)

I would suggest that the "standard" place should be the root of
knoppix.img, i.e. /KNOPPIX.IMG/knoppix.sh. I will add that to
the knoppix-image script, it's a missing feature.
On the other hand, since knoppix.img is mounted in knoppix-autoconfig,
you could as well just use an init script in /etc/rc5.d/ that will be
executed after the image was mounted. So, maybe /KNOPPIX.IMG/knoppix.sh
is no really necessary.

Difficult, how would you distinguish between, for example, a
harddisk-installation of Knoppix, or a USB disk with a to-go image?
his could be risky. You don't want to overwrite non-knoppix partitions
accidentially. Maybe it could work if you say knoppix home=/dev/sda1
at the boot prompt.
