If you already burned the downloaded Knoppix ISO to a CDROM, you'll find a directory there called "knoppix"
Example: ( D: is your cdrom drive)
D:\knoppix
Copy that directory to a directory on your hard drive (i. e. C:\knoppix )
Make a boot floppy using the mkfloppy.bat file in the Knoppix directory.
Now when you start your computer, make sure the boot floppy is in, when it boots up, it'll search for the Knoppix directory (in the cdrom drive first, then on your hard drives) once it finds the Knoppix directory on your hard drive, it boot normally using that image on the hard drive.
Note: Make sure you don't have the Knoppix CDRom in your CD drive or else that's the one it'll load.

If you have a installation of LILO, you even can add Knoppix to that and therefore have no need for the floppy!

No at all. After extraction the iso image is 700mb. if you copy the the knoppix folder to the hd (read above) it will need 700mb.

Thanks Oscar,
this is fine, I will use it now.
But a way to boot a ISO directly would be smarter
- faster
- more handy (an ISO ready for burn another CD as giveaway)
- a step to a solution to boot a iso directely from a ftp-server
I have open a new WIKI-page:
http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/FaqHdBased
Please read it and correct/modify it.
Greetings
rob
