Hi,
Will see of I have a note about the thinkpad model from the person who
put it together for me before.
I experience sight loss, so providing those details will take some
digging.
the situation is that I have no way to burn a cd for install, even though
the thinkpad has one.
My goal was to get boot images, save them to floppies on this machine,
take the laptop and floppies to my office and get help doing the
install.
My only reason for considering freedos is the chance for on board use of
the Ethernet setup.
Will hunt for what I might have on the machine.

AFAICT, the FDNET package contains packet drivers for (16-bit?) NE2000 and
PCnet ethernet cards. The crynwr package has several dozen other packet
drivers. If we knew the exact Thinkpad model, we could advise you better.

WRT saving items to floppy, are you considering a hard drive install or
booting from floppy only?

meaning that packet drivers are included in packages, or that I will need
to hunt them?
also, is there a install copy that lets me save items to floppies?

My understanding, perhaps incorrect, is that freedos has networking
infrastructure in the system itself?
No, FreeDOS isn't special, it just uses pre-existing packet drivers
(usually for old hardware).
