If the computer (server) is capable of booting via NIC (e.g., PXE boot) and your Knoppix 3.3 cd has the terminal server script on it, you might be able to boot and install Knoppix from another computer on your LAN. I know that the script is integrated in Knoppix 3.7 and later, but I have no first hand information on 3.3.

Here is more information on this solution; it's fast, and I used it several times with great success:

Don't forget to uncheck "disallow root access on client" when you run the script; you need root priviledges to install Knoppix on the server.

And here is a description by someone who did it with Knoppix 3.3 and a Thinkpad X40:

I consider the Knoppix CD as a Swiss Knife for everything regarding system rescue. Unfortunately, up to Knoppix 3.3, it does not support to be booted from a USB connected CD drive. Starting with version 3.4, it is supported.

Glad to have a Thinkpad, since it supports PXE to boot off another system in case you cannot boot from a CD drive. So I started the Knoppix on another system, started the Knoppix terminal server from Knoppix 3.3 (when booted into KDE, look in the K-Menu for the link to the terminal server setup).

I booted into the X40 into the BIOS and made the booting from the network the first boot option. Now when rebooting the system (that of course is connected to the same network as the terminal server), it boots from the Knoppix terminal server - yes, it is that easy!
