Tricky Network Install


I have an old laptop, P120, 16meg, 4 gb harddisk.
It will not boot from cd rom so i have to a floppy disk, and you can only have the floppy or the cdrom in at one time.
I dont want to create a dos partion and boot from that, i would like to do a network install.
I am not exactly sure what to do, i realise i need the install disks and the network disk and the pcmcia disk as that is what i use for the network, how exactly do i use them?
I read about using the install and then typing pcmcia, do i then add the network or the otehr way round?
