You are going to have to do a poormans install...or burn a special loadlin cd

If you have a fat32 partition anywhere on harddrive copy the /KNOPPIX and /boot directories to that drive (make one if needed 64Megs as C:\)

Use the 0.8.0 boot floppy and it should autodetect the /KNOPPIX dir and start running it from the hd...then create new ext2 partition, do hd install, install lilo. On reboot you can then load dsl from the ext2 partition...use cfdisk to erase the old fa32 partition (if you dont want it) and make it a linux swap partition and reboot...now you have a HD install with swap partition
