Yes, that is possible.

Just copy linux24 and minirt24.gz to the hd, and have your bootloader boot it. It should automatically boot from usb, unless you have DSL installed to the hard drive too..

oh. Then the regular boot floppy can do that.

After downloading bootfloppy.img you can write it to a floppy with "dd if=bootfloppy.img of=/dev/fd0".
Then copy the KNOPPIX directory from the CD or the embedded ver to the usb stick, plug them both in, and see if it boots
