Because you'd have to somehow split the kernel binary ("linux26") up accross two floppies, then somehow put it back together in memory at boot time....which would be kind of complicated for bootloader software to do.
Fortunately, you can still run Knoppix with kernel 2.4, which is small enough to fit on a floppy. (Knoppix 3.4 uses kernel 2.4.26, and 3.6 uses kernel 2.4.27, so I'll put up boot floppies for 3.6 up on my website tonight...)
They ought to have the Knoppix 3.6/kernel 2.4 floppy images up on the Knoppix mirrors, if nothing else!
