I'm trying to install knoppix on a virtual PC running ontop of Windows XP SP2. The virtual pc has the following config:

RAM : 128MB
HD : 20 GB.

When I run knoppix-installer as root, nothing happens and I have to control-C to return to the prompt. (In windows, CPU usage shoots to 100%).

Does anyone have experience installing Knoppix in virtual PC. I'd really love to be able to use linux even when I'm forced to use a Windows Laptop (without removing windows of course....after all it's not my laptop)
