Get either the NetWinder disk image or the Debian boot image. The former is
basically a complete system in a tarball and the latter contains enough to
boot the machine to the point you can run dpkg and install more things
that way.
Failing that you can grab the binary RPMs from RedHat Rawhide and do something
like
for $i in *.armv4l.rpm; do rpm2cpio $i | cpio --extract ; done
to just pull out the binaries
