There are around there some Linux distributions that run on a floppy, I use LOAF (http://loaf.ecks.org/) and you could use it really easy on a laptop, the problem here may be network adapter support. Or there are still arounf very ligth distros, not on a floppy but something you can use on a laptop.
Even theres a lot of documentation on the HOWTOs files , it seems to be confusing sometimes (at least to me), check the mgetty utility at http://www.leo.org/~doering/mgetty/. Good Luck!
