I remember installing Slackware back in 1993 using floppies on my parent's 486sx33. It only took a few floppies and you were up and running. I didn't put a CDROM in it until OS/2 v 3 came out. Slackware 7 still has some floppy support so you can get a base install up with networking.
I still have that machine (sitting in the closet) and with Mandrake's 486 release I think I'll see what that old machine can do today. Of course I'll have to use a boot floppy.
