HD Install :: Help for frugal install from floppy

I need to do a frugal install from a floppy. I used Partition Magic to create ext2 and swap partitions on the hard drive. When I boot the floppy I get a cannot find knoppix file system. I have an Ubuntu live cd to run Linux for entering commands. The computer is an old Windows 98 machine that as yet I cannot overwrite, and windows 98 does not like two primary partitions. Can someone please tell me how to procede?

Are you using a live CD or a USB key?
