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.
