[PLUG] "Current" Linux on old laptop


I need a recommendation and I figured what better place to ask this.

I have an old IBM Thinkpad (760ED... P166 (or 133, not sure), 64mb ram. I 
had RH9 on it, but the drive has ssince been wiped. Now I'm ready to 
reinstall it but I'm hoping to put a more current version of linux on it. 
The only drawback is that whatever version I put on it has to have an 
installation boot floppy since I don't think the laptop supports Boot From 
CD. Fedora doesn't seem to come with boot floppies, and most distros I see 
only seem to come with bootable CDs... does anyone have any suggestions ?

Thanks
Marc
