How much memory is "limited"? (Do you have 4MB?) I can send you the Debian installation CDs with floppy images - you'll need a rescue floppy, root floppy, driver 1, 2, 3, and base 1-14. Buy a box of 30, and you'll probably get all of those successfully created - one bad sector and it's toast. The last set that I made was all good except for base 8. Sigh... If you have the bandwidth, you can download the images. Anyway you'll have a fully networked system with lpr, and without needing any other floppies or CD to work.
