Slackware has a version of Linux called 'ZipSlack' which is a cut-down
version of the full Slackware that does not require you to partition your
hard drive. In addition, it is only 100Mbs. I'm not sure if the distribute it
on a CD or not, but if you have anything faster than a 56k you can probably
download it. Or, if you have a friend with a fast connection, you can put it on
a zip disk:-p

Hope that's of help.
