Looking for a distro I can install from one partition to another.

I'm looking for a newb-friendly distro that I can install from one partition to another. I only have a floppy drive, and I don't want to have a lot of disks. I have one FAT32 partition (8gb), and 5gb of unpartitioned space (where I want to put Linux).

Is there a distro that can install itself this way?

We have an Amigo Linux forum here at LQ,
and Gilbert, the Amigo developer, is there
to give you all the help you need...and I,
