There is a script which allows for a network frugal install in the download section. It requires the toms rescue disk (a boot floppy full of useful tools and resources) and two partitions and a blank floppy. I am not sure where the procedures are for doing the install this way but if you look in the wiki or do a search on the forum for network install there should be some info.

Here is a link in the wiki:

You could also download the ISO and use a tool (like daemon tools) to mount the iso and extract the contents then boot from floppy.

Use someone elses system to install to a usb drive. borrow an external drive and boot from floppy. Purchase a preinstalled usb drive from DSL.
