With all this going on, it seems to me there MUST be a floppy image that will load the minimum shell (including PCMCIA drivers!) and all over-the-net installs (HTTP, FTP, of NFS).
That would really help on one old notebook I have.
Oh, and of course this is for CentOS 4.2!
Regardless what other said, it IS possible to acomplish what you want. Yes, you can't fit the install image on a floppy, but you can still boot from a floppy, load the image using tftp, and install.
Just get yourself a floppy-based PXE boot, setup a install server, and you are good to go. I did it a few days ago.
Check http://www.centos.org/docs/4/html/rhel-sag-en-4/ch-pxe.html
You can get the PXE boot image from http://grid-it.cnaf.infn.it/index.php?pxefloppy&type=1
