In previous versions, there have been floppy images included with the
CDs. You'll have to loop mount the ist CD ISO image to access those
files. You can then place the 5 ISO files in a directory that can be
accessed over the network. Boot the floppies and do a network install.
The ISOs can also be copied to the hard drive in that computer and
then, booting from floppy, perform an install from the hard drive.
