right. I am not a specialist of jigdo but i think that jigdo need files 
directy on the iso9660 cdrom filesystem. Knoppix (x86 and  the mib ppc 
version) uses a compressed iso9660 filesystem aka cloop and all the debian 
system on it is contained in a big file (/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX in the x86 
version). 

Soon you will be able to make your own knoppix cd using debootstrap and some 
knoppix debs, in your case this could be a better solution. In fact this is 
what i have already done to port it on ppc, but some configuration was to be 
made at hand.

The OF can catch yaboot on the cd but only with the prompt....
