Yes, this is indeed something I've tried to make work. However the ISO of Knoppix is not hybrid. Hybrid ISOs can work on CD-rom drives as well as USB-drives. DriveDroid at the moment only emulates USB-drives, that's why all distros that are on distscraper only have hybrid ISOs (most modern distros use this).
Anyway, I'm about to put true CD-rom support in DriveDroid, but this requires patches to the kernel which is hard to get on all devices (atm only nightly builds of CyanogenMod for Samsung Galaxy S is supported). Once support for CD-rom-drives is enabled on most popular devices running CyanogenMod, I'm going to add an option to allow non-hybrid ISOs in DriveDroids downloadlist too.
EDIT: Oh I forgot to mention that you can get KNOPPIX working by creating a new blank image in DriveDroid, load that image and follow the 'install KNOPPIX to USB'-guide that you can find here: http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/knoppix-flash-en.html
Maybe its ok to have knoppix now?
A lot of guys are actually using KNOPPIX for system rescue (and drivedroid will probably be used for system rescue as well). I'd recommend adding this distribution to DriveDroid.
