I'm pretty new at the Linux thing, but I got my little old toshiba laptop up and running (it's a 16MB RAM P75 machine) - it's not fast, but it works :o)
Can you boot from Tom's Root and Boot disk? If so, you might be able to copy the KNOPPIX and the boot folders from the CD to the harddisk and run the installer from that.
The info for Tom's root and boot and DSL frugal installation is found at:
http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki....tall%29
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub....wto.pdf
The instructions at the top of the Wiki page tell you how to use Toms Root and Boot to partition your HDD before you attempt to install via the net. In your case, you could do all the partitioning stuff using the tomsrtbt disk. Reboot and then use Tomsrtbt to copy the files across from the CD.
I don't know that booting from HDD would make much difference, but it might be worth a shot..?
Good luck!
Cheers and beers,
Sarah

I've been told the best way to learn is to explain it to someone else in front of "experts". People who are knowledgable (and sometimes even if they're not!) on a topic will soon tell you if you're wrong, and love you for the opportunity to either show their prowess or make jokes at your expense!
