I have a small machine with no CDROM drive that I want to load linux onto to play around with. Problem is I cannot install a cdrom drive on it.

I have a external USB 2.0 CDROM drive Iomega 52x32x52x Model 32885

Can I get this to work?. There is a floppy drive so I could make a boot disc of some sort, but I have no idea how to do that.

Well you could make a bootdisk (floppy) from Windows. And then boot from that floppy to mount the CDrom and install from there.
