Or try to use Smart Boot Manager ( http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/ ) installe=
d on
a floppy to bootstrap and chainload Knoppix from the CD.  I already did this
several times in similar cases, but beware that some older CD drives don't
recognize 700MB CD's (or if they do, might be less tolerant as to the burni=
ng
quality: I got loads of bad block errors on one latetly).
