Is it possible to get a PC Card NIC?  If so I'm sure you could boot 
Debian using a couple of floppies.  Other than that, um... Slackware?

Where abouts are you based?  I could possibly get hold of a PCMCIA 
CD-ROM drive which you could borrow to aid installation if you could 
make it to one of the LUG meetings.

Ta,
