Joe> Any ideas on the best way to do this? Well, visit http://www.cdrom.com and buy the CD. :) Not the answer you were probably hoping for, but what you propose sounds difficult. You'll need pccardd running, a working /etc/pccard.conf, and the xe driver to work. Probably dificult to do on a boot floppy. If you can't install via CD, I'd do the instalation via PPP or a parallel port IP connection. If you are installing onto a slice of your disk, and the other slice has Windoss and a couple of hundred MB free, download the distribution to c:\release and install from there.
