The OP specifically asked for grub2. Maybe he want to add a Knoppix
stanza to his Debian grub2 setup.

Knoppix boots using grub-legacy so wouldn't the OP have to change to
GRUB 2 first? Considering the OS can be installed to a USB device from
the CD I'm beginning to wonder why GRUB 2 matters and what exactly the
problem is.

There'll hopefully be someone here who'll know and reply but it seems
too specific to Knoppix to expect an answer here. (I understand your
account problem though!).
Looking at the url that you posted earlier, I assume that you've
already tried a straight transposition of the grub1 stanza into a
grub2 one:
menuentry "Knoppix" {
linux /boot/isolinux/linux ramdisk_size=10 init=/etc/init lang=us
apm=power-off vga=791 initrd=minirt.gz nomce quiet BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix
initrd /boot/isolinux/minirt.gz
}

To satisfy our curiosity: what does Knoppix on a USB device as a
recovery tool give you that Debian on the device doesn't?

The question you really wanted to ask was -'How do I boot Knoppix on my
Debian machine and copy it to a USB stick?' Which would have nicely put
us on-topic.
Anyway: in /etc/grub.d/40_custom put
menuentry "Knoppix Adriane" {
set root=(hd0,1)
loopback loop /boot/isos/knoppix-adriane.iso
linux (loop)/boot/isolinux/linux
bootfrom=/dev/sda1/boot/isos/knoppix-adriane.iso
initrd (loop)/boot/isolinux/minirt.gz
}
changing (hd0,1) and sda1 to suit your situation. Run 'update-grub' and
boot into Knoppix. Get a terminal, plug in a USB stick and transfer
Knoppix to it with 'flash-knoppix'.

I think you're right, of course. I simply don't have an account there and was hoping maybe I could solve this little problem without creating new accounts (already have too many).
