Red Hat linux 7.3 hard disk space problem


I am preparing to install on an old pc 128 mg ram,200 mmx cpu,6 gig hd an old version of red hat linux 7.3 in dos mode with floppy boot disk. I can t start in cdrom bootup mode because my bios is too old.

My boot manager disk for my hard drive,put a limitation on partition of 2 gig each for a total of 3 partition,6 gigs total.

My question is, because of the limitation of the dos to 2 gigs per partitions, how am I suppose to install of red hat linux that required at least 4 gigs in DOS mode.

What are my options?

What are the steps to do it in dos mode with boot disk? I cant use cdrom boot and usb port is not possible

Please help.

S.
