    there is a floppy boot option for knoppix out there that I used for an
    old system that was supposed to cd boot but didn't. Also, seems that
    knoppix comes with debootstrap on it so...if you can floppy boot the
    thing, then use debootstrap to build a debian system on the hd you could
    get around the 3 gig limit, but still have all those nice knoppix cd
    utils to help set up partitions etc... all you'd need then would be a
    working NIC...
