My laptop has 256 MB - 16 MB video = 240 MB. It used to lock up hard during installation with Knot-1 and Knot-2. In the end I had to log in to a "Failsafe Xterm" session, and launch Ubiquity from there, which worked fine. Yesterday I installed Knot-3 the normal way, in a Gnome session. It was slow (also due to my CD drive), but it got through. > I essentially have a Knot-3 laptop right now (since I have all the daily > updates), but I cannot actually install that release.

You can try copying the contents of the CD iso image to a USB drive/stick if you have one. There are some issues using the Desktop CD this way, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CustomizedInitrd, but the Alternate CD should be easier to play with. Once it has booted and starts looking for the CD, you can open a shell and mount the cd-copy drive manually.
