Thanks for the replies - I got it working!  I can't believe how easy that was - I just copied KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX off the USB stick to hdb2 and copied linux24 and minirt24.gz off the USB to hdb1. Then I put in GRUB's menu.lst:
title DSL
root (hd1,0)
kernel /linux24 root=/dev/hdb2 frugal toram
initrd /minirt24.gz
makeactive
boot
(with some other boot codes on the kernel line as well, I just copied them out of the example in KNOPPIX/boot/menu.lst)
During booting it took 16 seconds to copy stuff to the ramdisk because of the toram boot code, but once DSL had loaded it didn't seem to be using any more of my RAM than before I used the toram option - about 20-30MB, and I didn't notice any speed increase. Is this correct? I have 160MB of RAM.
Now my main problem is getting the internet to work with my USB ADSL modem (see Networking forum), and then I'll be a very happy bunny!
