This is off topic for the linux kernel mailing list.

Quite a lot of linux distributions allow you to install linux with a
couple of floppies and an FTP server. I know both Debian and SuSE can
work that way because I tried it myself. See:

  http://www.debian.org/
  http://www.suse.com/ or http://www.suse.de/en/

I'm quite sure the other distributions also support install via FTP.
