Sorry, it's not available for download atm. But I hear it wasn't that
hard to customize the Knoppix CD. It's based on Debian, so the Debian
package management tools should work for adding stuff to it and
removeing unneeded things. Perhaps amanda client was even already
included in the latest version of the original Knoppix distribution, not
sure...

There are some infos on customizing/remastering Knoppix CDs at
  http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/KnoppixCustomizations

Knoppix Lite
  ftp://ftp.es.debian.org/pub/miniKnoppix
looks like a nice starting point for an amanda rescue CD.

Hth,
Martin
