	You could try most :-) Shame of the CD-Rom drive or NIC. Anyway,
you can install either Debian or Slackware from floppies. Doing this is
not recommended (but it is possible!). You could try to use mulinux, a
distribution in a floppy, pluss some floppies for extra stuff (a simple
X, gcc...). If you have another computer with a CD, just unplug the CD
on to the "relic", and use a debian or slackware CD (<whisper>I believe
Richard has some warm debian cds</whisper>). 

	I don't know how easy it is to install Suse or Red Hat for this
circumstances, but somebody else might help? It looks like a decent
sysmte (only a tad slow for rendering 3D stuff :D).

	Regards,
	José
