begin Paul J Collins quotation:

Practical if either:
(1) The machine has any form of Internet access, including 28.8 kbps
dialup.
Get five floppy images from
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/frozen/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/
Specifically, rescue.bin, root.bin, driver-1.bin, driver-2.bin,
driver-3.bin . Write them to floppies using either dd or RAWRITE.EXE .
Boot the rescue disk. Continue through the installation as directed.
The Debian Base System (equivalent of 11 diskettes, whose images you
_can_ retrieve and install from floppies) will by default be retrieved
and installed from the Internet via http. You can then build up your
machine as desired, after that. See: http://linuxmafia.com/debian/tips
or...
(2) You're within driving distance of Menlo Park, CA,
That's where my house is. We have a full Debian mirror on-site, and can
lend ethernet cards.
or...
(3) You don't mind trying a set of pre-release, unofficial Debian
CD-ROMs.
See the vendor list at http://www.debian.org/distrib/vendors
