could i use floppy bootdisk to boot the knoppix 3.2 cd?

[Stephen]

You do use Windows? Else, check the docs (KnoppixUsage?), it explains how to put the image on a floppy under Linux,

dd if=/cdrom_path_to/boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440 replace boot.img with boot-en.img for English disk.
[edit]
The floppy has to be unmounted.
