Have you tried the universal boot floppy from the thinstation project?
http://thinstation.sourceforge.net/download.html

The only thing better is likely to be booting a knoppix CD with
'knoppix 2'
at the boot prompt, followed by
X -query server
when you get the command prompt.  If someone is going to modify an
iso image, that's probably the one to tackle so you get pcmcia
and wireless support too.
