As you intend to use it as firewall/router, I assume that a) it has a
network card and b) you have other machines also connected to the
network.

In this case you can do an NFS or FTP install, i.e. have the CD in a
drive on one of your other machines and install via the network. That's
what I did in a similar situation. The manual should have the details on
this.

HTH,
