YES !!! There IS a way. Actually, there are a few.
(a) - the HD install.
Install it to the HD and away you go - sudo su and dpkg-restore, then apt-get to your heart's content.
(b) - The customization for your own personal distro.
This one's kinda tricky, but it works like a hot damn. first thing you need is to get a partition you can use that's got upwards of about 200 megs (just to be safe) and also have a decent size of swap (200 megs or so, again just to be safe). I could explain the whole thing here, but I won't steal their glory. Just sudo su, mount the drive (mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/hd (using your own mount point and drive specs), then copy the knoppix folder to the source/KNOPPIX dir (cp -rp /KNOPPIX/* /mnt/hd/source/KNOPPIX). Once that's done, chroot to that dir (chroot /mnt/hd/source/KNOPPIX) and you're on the HD. Then do dpkg-restore to give yourself apt-get, and customize to your heart's content.
The whole tutorial for that is here:

Read that, and enjoy - it'll tell you how to make your own custom version for a pocketcd or even a larger cd if you don't have any of them.
