I'm not so sure that would have been simple on that hardware.  With 64
MB even Knoppix will not boot into a GUI environment without requiring
a swapfile/swappartition, which cannot be done if the drive is messed
up, and thus will drop you into a root shell -- not exactly a friendly
environment for someone new to Linux.

And once you've fixed the partitioning, installing and then running
Linux with a GUI is going to be painful.  Can it be done?  Sure.  But
there are much easier ways to learn Linux.
