Anything is possible, but the easy way is:
Create a ~50MB MSDOS or "FAT" data partition, IE: "C" drive.
Boot up DOS / FreeDOS / Win95 and copy the \KNOPPIX file over from the CDROM and to C:\KNOPPIX\KNOPPIX Note the ALL UPPERCASE letters
Then create a DSL boot floppy disk.
Boot up DSL (aka "poorman's install).
Create a 450MB Linux data partition and format it EXT2 using
sudo su
cfdisk /dev/hda
mkfs -t ext2 /dev/hda2
Then do a DSL hard drive install or frugal install to this partition.
Then reboot the computer and boot up your new DSL system.
Then use cfdisk to delete your old FAT partition and recreate it as a Linux SWAP partition. Then type:
mkswap /dev/hda1
to format the swap partition.
Then reboot and your 450MB DSL + 50MB swap system is up and running.
