Before you get too far into this, are you doing this because those are 
the only antique PCs you have access to, or because you're piqued that 
you can't run Linux in less than 64MB any more? If the former, then I 
believe Matt Revell has a spare machine (I gave it to him amd he was 
talking about passing it on as he's not using it, but check with him 
first before demanding it :)); if the latter then Damn Small Linux might 
be OK (or even Gentoo); use Smart Boot Manager 
(http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/) on a floppy, which will then allow you 
to boot a CD.
