smaller Knoppix install?

I got an old laptop that runs great with Knoppix, but I am unable to get the install script to do it's job because my harddrive is too small.

Basically I got 1.9 gigs to work with. If I were able to install the CD minus KDE, openoffice, Mozilla and a few other of the weightier apps I'd have a perfectly configured old laptop.

Has anybody made an iso of a Knoppix one off with all the hardware detection, and a working install for leaner systems?

'KIX' does not detect my usb ethernet connection, and the install script seems broken.
