Knoppix won't run with only 8MB RAM. Although it could run with swap
enabled, the swap space cannot be used at boot time. So kernel und
initial ramdisk have to fit in RAM.
Even older Knoppix versions (2.2, 3.0) need at least 16MB for this.

I also suggest a floppy linux distro like muLinux, tomsrtbt or HAL91
(http://chris.silmor.de/hal91/).
