OK had time to think 
Rapidweathers method should work.
You don't need an ISO buster proggie as the DSL cd is easily read under windows (first time I've looked).
The only problem is creating the boot image floppy.
First copy the /knoppix folder to C:\
Then try and download tomsrtbt floppy <http://www.toms.net/rb> and use that to boot with. (Well worth getting & keeping anyway).
Then you can use the dd command to create the DSL boot floppy
"dd if=/cdrom/knoppix/boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=18k"
(quick break down if input file, of = output file, fd0 1st floppy drive, bs block size)
NB Under toms you will need to mount the cd drive before you can use the dd command
mkdir /cdrom
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /cdrom
(here I'm assuming that hdb is your cd drive but you can find out what it is called by using - dmesg | grep hd - at the command prompt)
(mkdir = make directory, mount tells the system to read device, -t type of encoding iso9660 for cd but could be vfat for windows etc.)
