If knoppix starts from the cd I would do a knx-hdinstall from the root 
shell. (or you could try damnsmall linux). It is based on debian so 
apt-setup and apt-get, aptitude works after the instalation.

I use vmware my self but this project looks promising 
http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/ to runn native windows.
