Oh, there's a whole forum here on Klik - there should be a sticky post at the very top. Essentially, you go to a website, install the Klik client, and choose among an assortment of open source titles. Click the ones you want, and BOING they are installed to your computer in your home directory. If you set up a persistent home (or do a hd install, if that's what you prefer) they will be there the next time you boot.

They're pretty cheap now. You don't need a big one. Shop a round and you may be able to scrounge a 16MB for $10USD or so. That's plenty big for configs, and some other stuff too.

Just partition of piece of it. Qtparted is a program which is already on the Knoppix CD, and it makes partitioning pretty easy. Make sure to defrag your Windows HD before you partition it.

You might want to consider a poor man's installation - a lot of Knoppix users (myself included) use that as a very functional and safer alternative to a traditional hd installation. A few months ago, I posted a couple of how-tos on the WIKI, and Markus was kind enough to convert them into the new format. There are several ways of doing a PMI, but what you do essentially is to copy the CD image onto a hard drive partition, so that it runs from there, plus set up a persistent home and saved config. Since you don't have a CD drive, I assume that you are currently booting from an ISO file downloaded to your hd somewhere, using the fromiso cheatcode as read from your hard drive. If so, you essentially have a PMI already, so you just need a partition or two for your persistent home and configs file. Perhaps this will be helpful to you.
