You could approach this form the opposite direction....if you install (or at least boot into) knoppix off the cdrom, you can then download and install a dos demulator (called "dosemu" , search for the site on google or yahoo, you need the dosbinaries file and dosemu file itself...both small) and then you can run dos programs in linux, even over a network (using lineighborhood to map network drives) if your computers have ethernet cards. You can also use WINE that comes with knoppix to run windows programs (even over a network) also.
