A normal Debian install may work. The page has an email about how to
install using an old release (1.3).

The page's author maintains Slackware installation files and
instructions.

I'd probably bite the bullet and do a complete floppy-based install if I
was him, then bring PLIP up, then start looking at getting other things
off the CD or elsewhere.
