Boot from floppy?

Must be some misunderstanding here but unfortunately I don't have any 95/98 machine so I can't try it out myself. Anyway, can your other machine (the one you say is running ME at the moment) boot from CD ? If it can you can use it to create the boot disk from within Knoppix instead.

would useing Knoppix effect my HD?

It shouldn't (Or perhaps I should put it this way: It tries very hard NOT to change anything)
If you are worried about it you can disable or even disconnect the HD before booting Knoppix.

Ok, to make the boot disk in Knoppix you open a console terminal (the icon of a display with a shell on it), say sudo bash, cd to the KNOPPIX directory on the CD and say dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0
