Just my first one:

Do a poorman's install to sda1 and then use your custom boot floppy.

Add the boot parameter "frugal":

dsl frugal

so that you can have write access to your sda1 partition and so you won't get that "Please remove the CD" prompt upon shutdown.

For backup/restore and myDSL function, you can boot with:

dsl frugal mydsl=sda1

and choose backup device "sda1"

It should automatically find your knoppix image file on your SCSI drive if it was placed in the right location C:\knoppix\knoppix

You may be able to speed things up with:

dsl frugal mydsl=sda1 fromhd=/dev/sda1 restore=sda1

And you can edit your

syslinux.cfg

file on the floppy and make your custom boot parameters part of the "default" boot configuration.
