Just make sure to copy the

\KNOPPIX\KNOPPIX

file from cd or from inside the ISO file by using a program like WinISO

and make sure that you copy it to:

C:\KNOPPIX\KNOPPIX

Yes... found out that I will really need an infrared connection (not possible right now) or cd drive for that.
I'm trying Toms Root 'n Boot disk right now, but can't really figure out why it won't boot... (I can think of something) ...
I copied the loadlin.exe and zimage to a floppy and then copied the image on it with rawwrite. that was not exactly the instruction Toms faq gave me (I should boot in dos modus and fix the install there) ... and so it didn't work. Now I'll try the install from dos on the floppy, and try to boot from the floppy... *grr.
