Laptops :: no cdrom/install from ZIP with tomsrtbt?

ive read a couple of different times on this forum of people copying the KNOPPIX folder to a HD partition via a zip drive and tomsrtbt. ive got the zip, ive got the HD partitions so that i can run as poor mans install and do a HD install to a seperate partition, and ive got tomsrtbt and i cant figure out how to do it. i know a bit here and there, but customizing toms is baffling me.

can anyone here give me more specific instructions or perhaps an easier way to do it?
