The slackware CD has images to load from 1.44 floppies.  From there you 
could upgrade.  I've tried it, and it works.  It will be a lot of work. 
 Once you get the old Linux in, you will have to upgrade, if you want 
newer, as the slackware I was given is version 3.6  You could configure the 
PPP connection and download the stuff you wanted to plug in, but this will 
be very time consuming. Another thought, is if you purchased the red hat 
CD's from redhat, they have support.  They may have it in floppy form and 
the scripts to load it.

Another route, is to borrow a IDE cdrom, and load it in and then remove the 
cdrom.
