Recently I tried this in a different way. 

I started with knoppix and removed many of the packages from and
installed what I needed. Created the iso and burnt it. Worked fine. Of
course I did not install the modified cd on any machine, but it should
work. 

The advantage I see in this route is you have a bootable+live cd with
which we can the h/w for compatibility like X, sound, etc with debian.
