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.
