Certainly possible, and I am guessing it would be quite easy, thought
I do not have experience with creating custom Knoppix CDs. According
to an article I found
(http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=417095&rl=1): "The
total process of creating a new version of Knoppix (called
remastering) broadly consists of copying a running Knoppix environment
to a host computer, chrooting into it, making any desired changes, and
then compressing the filesystem and turning it into a bootable ISO."
So it should be straightforward to set up ImageJ in a user's home
directory in the chroot environment, including all desired plugins and
preferences, then create the ISO from that.
