Back in the day, the kernel was much smaller and could fit on a floppy. But even in the mid-90s if you wanted to do a full install, linux required several floppies.
Today, I'm not so sure floppy is the way to go. The easiest might be to remove the hard drive, put it in a USB enclosure, and install linux to it. A current linux kernel will run just fine on a 100 MHz mahcine. However, 32 MB may be pushing it. Good luck and let us know how things go.
