Sorry Andrew but RTFM you will need over 3GB to do a disk install of
Knoppix. [0]

Knoppix is on a compressed file system AFAIK which is why you get those
anoying delays as the app is uncompressed.

As someone currently teaching Debian to the technically incompetent I am
not impressed with Linux usability as a desktop and even less impressed
with Debian docs/site.
