What the documentation forgets to mention is that when you have 512 megs of RAM, your system will fail to boot fully with a cryptic KDE-related error (yes, even in Qemu). I found that the system boots with 256 megs of RAM by pure luck.
If you think that's all it takes to boot Knoppix 2, well, remember that X11 was still a piece of work back in 2001. So, uh, at first I only got two working video modes: super-tiny 320x200 and forking squished 800x32~ pixels mode.
Eventually I managed to get a working 86Box configuration, of course.
