Oxygen has attempted to address this exact problem by building into
the base system support for the following:
1) Loading packages from multiple disks
2) Loading packages over the network
3) Loading packages from CDROM
For #2, you need a DHCP server on the network connected to your "eth0"
interface; for #3 you need IDE support in your kernel.
There are other possibilities, too:
1) Install a small IDE hard drive
2) Install an IDE RAMdisk
3) Install an IDE-based ZIP
4) Use a bootable CDROM - this is in active development by both Oxygen
and Eigerstein developers
Hope this helps you out...
