Elsewhere you mention having a network card. I suggest you do a
network installation. You will need a server, an installation floppy
or CD-ROM, and a network. Most disties will install over NFS, SMB
(Windows shares), HTTP or FTP.

The server does not have to be local, but a remote server may be
slower (being dependent on load and your internet uplink) and less
reliable.
