Try :
(prepare a 3GB linux partition (logical OK) + a 500M swap partition).
boot Knoppix 3.4 from CD.
# mount   /mnt/hda(9 as you like)
# cp -a /KNOPPIX/*   /mnt/hda(9)

make /etc/fstab 
make /etc/lilo.conf  ==> boot=/dev/hda(9) 
                                           root=/dev/hda(9)


(use multi boot from DOS if you have Windows on /dev/hda1)

# rm /etc/lilo.conf   (must do this)
# cp /mnt/hda(9)/etc/lilo.con   /etc
# mount -o bind /mnt/hda(9)/boot     /boot
# sbin/lilo -v

# mkdir /mnt/hda(9)/home/knoppix
# chown knoppix.knoppix   /mnt/hda(9)/home/knoppix
# reboot

Enjoy!
