nice Daniel! And, if that doesn't work off the floppy, but you can get Red Hat installed on the machine via floppy method, then do a minimal RH install, then setup using those files from Daniel's link and do this:
http://www.turnpike420.net/linux/pxe_image_boot.txt You should be able to boot and do a completely new install that way if those files don't get you a bootable floppy that will read your USB CDROM. I suppose that still relies on the setup's ability to read a USB CDROM though. :) I'd also recommend you find a pcmcia NIC so you can do this a bit easier, and it will allow you to more easily stay current with updates. I guess it all depends on your purpose for this machine. Good luck!
