The Compact floppy disks are the best way to do it.  They have
3 floppy disks and can install on most any computer.  should be=20
in:

ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-i386/current/images-=
1.44/compact/

with these you should be able to do a network install.

if you have a cdburner go to
http://linuxiso.org

you can get just about any disrto there.
