I suggest you go for RedHat 6.2. It is the most mature of the lot that you
have.
Mount the CD on the FTP server, in the anonymous FTP root directory. I
usually mount it as /home/ftp/pub/cdrom - YMMV. This is the easiest
method of them all.
I hope you have a PCMCIA ethernet adapter. Make a PCMCIA bootable floppy
from the pcmcia.img that you will find in the cdrom/images directory. In
linux, the command is dd if=pcmcia.img of=/dev/fd0, for dos/windows,
you have to use the rawrite.exe in the cdrom/dosutils directory.
Boot from this floppy - the rest of the installation is intuitive.
