Hello. I have in one machine Redhat Distro and I installed in my second machine ( a laptop) via NFS,if You download the isos ,you can copy after the files to the HD and do a network install via http,nfs,ftp. Or do a direct mirror using Wget or mirror tools,for example.
You can download all files and put these in Your HD,in RH9 there is included a small iso of a bootable CD,so You will not need more floppies:) For download the isos I use wget,fast,small and very reliable.
