If you go to one of the Fedora mirrors you will find a file boot.iso that you can transfer on to several floppies in order to start a network install. Have a look at http://www.thisiscool.com/fcfloppy.htm Alternatively beg, borrow or buy a CD-ROM drive? I installed Suse 9.3 last night from a 50MB boot CD-Rom and FTP 1.8GB download. Very impressed so far.
