just install the proxy server on KNOPPIX(may be it is there already, waiting to be enabled) and point all your clients(XP, Pocket PC etc.) to that machine in the browser.
Solviong part of the problem is always better than making a new one. I'll look into NAT. Question, if I just wanted browsing, how would I set up proxy? Braowsing is my main concern, everything else is secondary.

Essentially what a router does is remember who made a network request and to whom and as it recieves a packet it sends it back to the requesting machine. This is done in linux with ip-masquerading using either ip-chains or ip-tables.
You may want to look into these two packages:
shorewall - Shoreline Firewall (Shorewall)
shorewall-doc - Shoreline Firewall (Shorewall) Documentation
they are available as debs, so you could apt-get them, I haven't used shorewall but I've read that it is easy to get working.
I use a 486 w/16mb of ram and a floppy drive running freesco as my router, with a dialup connection.
