Do you have another machine that could function as an NFS server?
That's what I did to get 8.2 installed on a similar laptop (150 mHz,
40mb RAM, 5gb HD).  FTP/HTTP simply aren't available for any version I
looked at if you have less that 48mb RAM.  8.2 runs ok on the machine,
but I'd recommend avoiding KDE and Gnome as they're incredibly slow --
if you need a GUI go with something lighter.
