Yep- make yourself a 3G partition (you can go as small as 2.5G I think and after install move directories to separate partitions- it's in the docs)
So anyway.....run the install script and make your partition or make your partition and run the script. Here's the most important step to getting GRUB to boot your Knoppix install:
When asked if you want to install LILO to the MBR choose no and by default it will install LILO into your /root directory.
Then while you still have the Knoppix cd booted, mount /dev/hda1 and edit your grub.conf
Here's mine:
Code:
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
mem=nopentium
title=Gentoo
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda7 "hdb=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi mem=nopentium"
title=Debian
makeactive
rootnoverify (hd0,10)
chainloader (hd0,10)+1
boot
title=Knoppix
makeactive
rootnoverify (hd0,8)
chainloader (hd0,8)+1
boot
title=Morphix
makeactive
rootnoverify (hd0,7)
chainloader (hd0,7)+1
boot
Yep I get a menu- yes it's soooooo very easy to do.
The boot might even be unnecessary- I forget and I always just copy the one above and edit it when I have a new partition to boot. Wouldn't be hard to find out though- I'm just lazy. 
I could not locate /etc/resolv.conf or config dial-up just yet. I'm in the FAQ for the next several nights.
We talkin' SuSE or Knoppix here?
