We will have to advise on which includes an editor with a line wrap i see,
your presant one does not.
No cdrom, then corel linux is out.
Slackware comes to mind, its a complete system, however its installable in
parts, which means you can install what you want after installing the
base_system.
Check out httpd://www.slackware.com
You can install from floppys,
all series directorys are made to fit on floppys,
you download what you require and place the directorys onto flopps
using the "makefloppy" disk.
Its all at the URL mentioned above.
